ji mein aata hai ki ek roz ye manzar dekhen

aaj kuchh andesha-e-sarsar nahin

kal talak qane raha jo gardish-e-taqdir par

yun sunahri dhup bikhri hai ruKH-e-kohsar par

dastanon mein wo jadu hai na tafsiron mein hai

chehre pe uske ashk ki tahrir ban gai

yun bane-sanwre hue se phul hain gulzar mein

phir tere qaul-o-qasam yaad aae

KHud apne aks ko hairat se dekhta hun main

kisi ki nabz pe is tarah ungliyan rakh de

zindagi ne baKHsha hai zahr-e-agahi mujhko

ek aan mein hi yun tera paikar badal gaya

honTon pe mohr bhi nahin naghmat bhi nahin

usko dekha tha faqat do-chaar lamhon ke liye

kar gae ashk meri aankh ko jal-thal kya kya
