ghazab hai dekhne men achchhi surat aa hi jaati hai
nahin roke se dil rukta tabiat aa hi jaati hai
bhara hai dil hamara doston ki bevafai se
kahan tak zabt baton men shikayat aa hi jaati hai
padega tere ji men shak na sun ghammaz ki baten
hazar aina ho dil par kudurat aa hi jaati hai
ye kya maalum tha ye ishq saudai banega
kahin talti hai aane vaali aafat aa hi jaati hai
tilai rang par kyuun kar na un logon ko gharra ho
ye zar vo chehra hai khatir men nakhvat aa hi jaati hai
junun-e-ishq men har chand kuchh ghairat nahin lekin
jo koi taan karta hai hamiyat aa hi jaati hai
ajab rudad hai apni bayan karte hain ham jis se
nikal aate hain aansu us ko riqqat aa hi jaati hai
nikal jaae na kyuun kar shahr se majnun bayaban ko
bashar ko apni uryani se ghairat aa hi jaati hai
hansi achchhi nahin dekho tamiz is men nahin rahti
ki munh lag chalne men bose ki naubat aa hi jaati hai
lachakte hi kamar zulf-e-rasa ki jhonk lene se
asar maashuq-pan ka hai nazakat aa hi jaati hai
bahut apne ko shaista vo ghairon men banate hain
tabiat men jo garmi hai shararat aa hi jaati hai
kahan tak nek sohbat ka asar hoga na insan ko
mile tanba jo sone se to rangat aa hi jaati hai
khuda surat na dikhlae mujhe atish-izaron ki
hazar un se hai dil thanda hararat aa hi jaati hai
dua-e-maghfirat jab mangte hain us se ro ro kar
barabar josh men khaliq ki rahmat aa hi jaati hai
koi mahbub us ki jaan ka saail jo hota hai
jhuka leta hai ‘bahr’ ankhen muravvat aa hi jaati hai
