mere lafz mere lahu ki lau
mere dil ki lai jise nur-e-nai ki talash hai

mere ashk mere wo harf hain jo mere labon pe na aa sake
main agar kahun bhi to kya kahun

ki hanuz meri zaban mein hai wahi na-kushuda-girah ki thi
tu sune to abr bhi naghma hai

tu sune to mauj-e-hawa bhi rag ki tan hai
tu sune to pat bhi phul bhi kisi gupt git ke bol hain

gul-o-yasman hon ki mehr-o-mah
har ek apni saut-o-sada mein kaamil-o-tam hai

mera lafz naqis-o-kham hai
raha na-tamam jo kah saka

jo na kah saka wahi baat asl-e-kalam hai
tu sune to koi ajab nahin

ki meri nawa ka hunar khule
tu sune to koi ajab nahin

ki sukhan ka satwan dar khule
