kuchh is ada se aaj wo pahlu-nashin rahe

nigahon ka markaz bana ja raha hun

kasrat mein bhi wahdat ka tamasha nazar aaya

naqab-e-husn-e-do-alam uThai jati hai

har haqiqat ko ba-andaz-e-tamasha dekha

yaadash-ba-KHair jab wo tasawwur mein aa gaya

be-kaif dil hai aur jiye ja raha hun main

ye hai mai-kada yahan rind hain yahan sab ka saqi imam hai

ishq ko be-naqab hona tha

barabar se bach kar guzar jaane wale

ishq hi tanha nahin shorida-sar mere liye

kabhi shaKH o sabza o barg par kabhi ghuncha o gul o Khaar par

ye falak ye mah-o-anjum ye zamin ye zamana

sine mein agar ho dil-e-bedar-e-mohabbat

ye misra kash naqsh-e-har-dar-o-diwar ho jae
