chand ko reshmi badal se ulajhta dekhun
vo hava hai kabhi anchal kabhi chehra dekhun
dekhne nikla huun duniya ko magar kya dekhun
jis taraf aankh uTha.un vahi chehra dekhun
us ke chehre se lapak uTThe to lau tham jaa.e
dil men hasrat hai daricha vahi khulta dekhun
da.era khinch ke baiTha huun baḌi muddat se
ḳhud se niklun to kisi aur ka rasta dekhun
ye vo darvaza hai kholun to koi aa na sake
aur agar band karun dil hi men duniya dekhun
vo ajab chiiz hai us ka koi chehra hi nahin
ek parda jo uThe dusra parda dekhun
vo chaka-chaund se niklega na ghar se koi
dhuup agar chhiTke vo hansta hua chehra dekhun
mera saaya ho ki main koi to dhoka hai zarur
ghar men a.ina ki ghar se pare dariya dekhun
koi phal-phul nahin maghribi chaTTanon par
chand jis gaanv se ugta hai vo duniya dekhun
rat-bhar roke bhi bujhti nahin siine ki tapish
kabhi yuun ho ke sirhane ko sulagta dekhun
‘ashk’ kuchh baat hi karne ka bahana mil jaa.e
us ke chehre pe agar yaas ka saaya dekhun
