kahun to kya main kahun pyari pyari aankhon ko
subu kahun ki surahi tumhaari aankhon ko

kuchh aisa chhaya hai dil par mere ghubar-e-alam
gulon ke sae bhi lagte hain bhaari aankhon ko [...]

raat taswir numudar hui aankhon mein
subh ke samne diwar hui aankhon mein
matla-e-dil pe phir ek chand pighal jaega
aaj ek tez chamak khar hui aankhon mein
aa tujhe lal karun zard-rukhi bint-e-khizan
surkh sailab ki yalghaar hui aankhon mein

tujh se hi kya wafa ki nahin khush-nigah chashm
jitne safed-posh hain sab hain siyah-chashm
us mehr-wash ke hone na de girya ru-ba-ru
jab tak safed howe na manind-e-mah chashm
andher hai dayar-e-mohabbat mein ham-daman
taqsir dil ki thahre kare jo gunah chashm
donon makan ghair se khali hain aa ke baith
tere pasand khwah ye dil aae khwah chashm
us ki shab-e-firaq mein itna tu ro ki ho
dariya-e-ashk mein teri kashti tabah chashm
mujh ko jala ke khak kya aur baha diya
tum se to ye na thi mujhe ai ashk-o-ah chashm
'joshish' wo kaun sa hai jafa-kar jis par aaj
munh par lahu male hue hai dad-khwah chashm

rone ki ye shiddat hai ki ghabra gain aankhen
ashkon ki ye kasrat hai ki tang aa gain aankhen

dil sakht hi kafir ka par aankhon mein haya hai
sunte hi jafa ka gila sharma gain aankhen [...]

yaad tum aae to phir ban gain baadal aankhen
dil ke virane ko karne lagin jal-thal aankhen

meri aankhon ka koi abr se rishta hai zarur
tut ke barsi ghata jab huin bojhal aankhen [...]

kahan se dhundh ke laun purane khwab aankhon mein
koi manzar nahin tikta meri sairab aankhon mein

na ninden thin na aansu the na khushiyan thin magar tu tha
ki ab tu bhi nahin aata hai in be-khwab aankhon mein [...]
