Dil Ki KHatir KHud Ko Manzar Rog Lagana paD Jata Hai

dil ki ḳhatir ḳhud ko ‘manzar’ rog lagana paḌ jaata hai

ghar ke andar shor agar ho bahar jaana paḌ jaata hai

niind se pahle jhilmil karte aa jaate hain ḳhvab-e-mujassam

so ja.un to jo bhi dekhun ḳhvab bhulana paḌ jaata hai

shahr ke barah darvaze hain ek jharoka hai ḳhushbu ka

sab par tera naam likha hai ye samjhana paḌ jaata hai

pahle-pahal to zabt ke mausam kar jaate hain apna saaya

baad men ankhon hi ankhon men haal sunana paḌ jaata hai

soch sako to itna socho patthar lauT ke aa sakte hain

ek purana qaul sahi lekin dohrana paḌ jaata hai

yaron ki fihrist bane to ḳhali satren bhi rakh lena

‘manzar’ dushman ko bhi ik din yaar banana paḌ jaata hai
