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

kabhi tawil kabhi muKHtasar bhi hoti hai

ulfat mein aisi laghzish-e-mastana chahiye

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
