bahr meñ dā.ere to hoñge hī
pyaar meñ vasvase to hoñge hī
ḳhvāb thā us kī shoḳh āñkhoñ kā
ḳhvāb ke zāviye to hoñge hī
roz tum phūl-ban meñ jaate the
lāziman gul khile to hoñge hī

job hai mas.ale to hoñge hī
dil hai vīrāñ to rah nahīñ saktā
dard is meñ base to hoñge hī

log tum par hañse to hoñge hī
bhāgte vaqt ke ka.ī lamhe
camere se khiñche to hoñge hī
aap gaaḌī baḌhā.iye apnī

ho na ho is ġhazal meñ kaifiyyat
munfarid qāfiye to hoñge hī
tāza-kārī kī mashq jaarī hai
sher meñ chuTkule to hoñge hī
