manzar se kabhi dil ke wo haTta hi nahin hai

be-wajh tahaffuz ki zarurat bhi nahin hai

tum se ruKHsat-talab hai mil jao

mausam ke pas koi KHabar moatabar bhi ho

mil baiThne ke sare qarinon ki KHair ho

baat ima-o-ishaaraat se baDhi aap hi aap

chalti rahti hai tasalsul se junun-KHez hawa

samne ek be-rahm haqiqat nangi ho kar nachti hai

simaT na pae ki har-su bikhar gae the hum

wahan bhi zahr-zaban kaam kar gaya hoga

ham-nashino kuchh nahin rakkha yahan par kuchh nahin

aain-e-wafa itna bhi sada nahin hota

ab mujhko ruKHsat hona hai kuchh mera haar-singhaar karo

ek be-nam si khoj hai dil ko jis ke asar mein rahte hain

mera jina gawahi de raha hai
