Ajeeb shaks tha har ek se pyar mangta tha

jahan na dard ho esa diyar mangta tha

jo maangta tha, woh dena meri bisat na thi

woh meri rooh ka mujhse qarar mangta tha

usay garz thi na gulon se na bulbulon se

…wo fasl-e-ranj mai fasl-e-bahar mangta tha

usay talab thi koi toot kar usay chahay

wo hath jor ke ulfat ka izhaar mangta tha

mere khuloos pe shayad tha shak usay

wafa ki raah main woh aitbaar mangta tha…
