samajh saka na koi raaz-e-husn begana

ba-in gudaz ajab rang ka bayan hota

koi bahaar ki KHatir koi KHizan ke liye

ye jo baDhti hui judai hai

bayan-e-dard-e-mohabbat jo bar bar na ho

agli gali mein rahta hai aur milne tak nahin aata hai

ye jo meri lai aur lafzon ke rangin tane-bane hain

nazron se basirat ki nihan kuchh bhi nahin hai

nahin ki humne kabhi haal-e-soz-e-jaan na kaha

be-sabab tujhse har ek baat pe nalan hona

aankhon mein haya aa jati hai honTon pe tabassum late hain

kya kya diye fareb har ek etibar ne
