aisi tashbih faqat husn ki badnami hai
maah aariz ko likha khame ki ye khami hai
rang ye un ki sabahat ne ajab dikhlaya
surkh jode pe guman hota hai badami hai
kahte phirte ho bura mujh ko ye baat achchhi nahin
meri rusvai men sahab ki bhi badnami hai
aap ki baton se dil pak gaya jab kahta huun main
hans ke kahte hain ye ulfat ki faqat khami hai
chumta hai koi ankhon se lagata hai koi
hai libas aap ka ya jama-e-ehrami hai
nahin Dagne ka qadam rah-e-vafa se apna
jo sitam chaho karo sabr mira haami hai
aap ki ishq ki iiza men hai lutf o rahat
aap par khatm miri jaan dil-arami hai
ham akele nahin rahte shab-e-tanhai men
yas-o-andoh-o-gham o hasrat-o-nakami hai
dil ko abru hain pasand aankh ko chashm-e-mai-gun
koi duniya men hilali hai koi jaami hai
lauh-e-quran jo kaha un ki jabin ko ‘zeba’
is men kuchh shak nahin tashbih ye ilhami hai
