ek misra hai zindagi meri
batao kaun si surat hai un se milne ki
kash main parde ka shikwa hi na karta un se
suna hai teri mahfil mein sukun-e-dil bhi milta hai
is se baDh kar aur kya hai sada-lauhi ishq ki
misal-e-naqsh-e-qadam baiTh ku-e-jaanan mein
nazar mila ke kaha mujhse mere saqi ne
tabibon ka ehsan kyun-kar na manun
phul kya Daloge turbat par meri
jalwe machal paDe to sahar ka guman hua
usne bhule se kya nazar Dali
surat-e-wasl nikalti kisi tadbir ke sath
tamasha dekh rahe the jo Dubne ka mere
bolte rahna kyunki tumhaari baaton se
gulshan se koi phul mayassar na jab hua
