Behke bekhe huwe andaaz-e-bayan hotey hain
Aap hotey hain to phir hosh kahan hotey hain

Hont paband hain, mafhoom bayan karne ko
koi samjhey to ye anso bhi zubaan hotey hain

Yaad hai teri nighahon ka badalna mujh ko
Ayse andaz qayamat main kahan hote hain

Q shab-e-gham na jalaoon teri yaadoon ke chiraag
Un se roshan meri manzal ke nishan hotey hain

Ghan hia baqito kisi roz khushi bhi hogi
Phool bhi to khaar ke pehlu main jawan hotey hain
