jab se nazar se dur wo pyare chale gae

zindagi KHwab-e-hasin ka nam hai

kaun si ja hai jahan husn ka shohra na hua

saz-e-ulfat hai mere saz-e-jigar hone tak

aaj un ka mizaj barham hai

dard minnat-kash-e-darman ho zaruri to nahin

mohabbat hi agar tujhko na ras aai to kya hoga

dard hi deta hai ab wo na dawa deta hai

ulfat mein aisi laghzish-e-mastana chahiye

kabhi tawil kabhi muKHtasar bhi hoti hai

chashm-e-dil par kaif hai chhaya hua

fikr-e-jahan se khele zor-e-butan se khele

KHamosh nazron se husn-e-butan ki baat karen

har aane jaane wale ka munh dekhta raha
