aham aankhen hain ya manzar khule to

ye kaho ye na kaho aise kaho aise nahin

aa tere sang zara peng baDhai jae

tum mein to kuchh bhi wahiyat nahin

ikka dukka shaz-o-nadir baqi hain

ziyan gar kuchh hua to utna jitna sud hota hai

wo ek shaKHs mere pas jo raha bhi nahin

nazar sameTen baTor kar intizar rakh den

bas ek bar faqat ek bar kam se kam

use na milne ki socha hai yun saza denge

nirala ajab nak-chaDha aadmi hun

tu kya jaane teri babat kya kya socha karte hain

kisi ka tir kisi ki kaman ho Thik nahin

kabhi bhanwar thi jo ek yaad ab sunami hai

zamin chillai chiKHi bilbila ke
