Lafzo.n ke ye nagiine toh nikley kamaal ke
ghazalo.n ne khud pahan liye zebar khayaal ke

aisa na ho gunaah kii dal-dal mei.n jaa phasuu.N
aiy merii aarzuu mujhe le chal samhaal ke

piChley janam kii gaaDhii kamaayii hai zindagii
souda jo karna,karna bahut dekh-bhaal ke

mousam hai.n do hii ishq,suurat koyii bhii ho
hai.n uske pass aaiiney hijr-o-visaal ke

ab kyaa hai,arth-hiin sii putak hai zindagii
jiivan se le gayaa woh kayii din nikaal ke

yuu.N zidagii se kaTta rahaa,ju.Dta bhii rahaa
bachcha khilaaye jaise koyi maa.N uChaal ke

ye taaj,ye ajanta-alora ke shaahkaar
afsaane lag rahe hai.n uruuz-o-zawaal ke
