main musawwir hun
par tujh se nadim hun main

ki tere tujh se khake banane ki main
ab talak ye ikkawanwin koshish bhi puri nahin kar saka hun

ye meri mohabbat ka gahra tassub bhi ho sakta hai
par ye aafaqiyat kaenati mohabbat ka radd-e-amal hai

ki khakon mein main teri aankhon pe salon se atka hua hun
ajab ek uljhan hai

aankhen banaun ya rahne hi dun
tere khake mein main tere chehre ke azlat ko khinch kar

wo tera ek tabassum banane ki koshish ko pura agar kar bhi lun
par jo tujh mein zamanon ki tahzib ki ek kahani buni hai

tere la-shuuri rawayyon mein arbon baras ke hasin irtiqa ka
wo jo ek fasana

d n a ki bases mein tartib pa kar
tujhe to banata hai wo ek fasana

wo khakon mein aakhir ko kaise sunaun
ai wajh-e-sukhan

jaan-o-rang-e-ghazal
kaenati mohabbat ka radd-e-amal

ai udasi ke hone mein wahid khalal
tujh se nadim hun main

mere wahm-o-guman mein qalam mein mere aur qirtas mein
tera hona musalsal nahin ho raha

meri bawanwin koshish mein bhi ab talak
tera khaka mukammal nahin ho raha
