iblis bhi rakh lete hain jab nam farishte

wo mere pas hai kya pas bulaun usko

haal us ka tere chehre pe likha lagta hai

jab aaftab na nikla to raushni ke liye

ruKHsat hua to aankh mila kar nahin gaya

chup ke aalam mein wo taswir si surat uski

jaan muqaddar mein thi jaan se pyara na tha

apni taswir ko aankhon se lagata kya hai

meri KHatir der na karna aur safar karte jaana

jis ne teri aankhon mein shararat nahin dekhi

lage the gham tujhe kis umr mein zamane ke

kuchh na kuchh ho to sahi anjuman-arai ko

main ki KHush hota tha dariya ki rawani dekh kar

tujh pe jaan dene ko tayyar koi to hoga

aap bhi nahin aae nind bhi nahin aai
