maana ki teri deed ke qaabil nahin hooñ main tu miraa shauq dekh miraa intizaar dekh

bichhad ga.e to ye dil umr bhar lagega nahin lagega lagne laga hai magar lagega nahin nahin lagega use dekh kar magar KHush hai main KHush nahin hooñ magar dekh kar lagega nahin

dil na-umeed to nahin naakaam hi to hai lambi hai gham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai

shaayad mujhe kisi se mohabbat nahin hui lekin yaqeen sab ko dilaata raha hooñ main

bichadkar uskaa dil lag bhi gaya to kya lagega vo thak jaayega aur mere gale se aa lagega main mushkil men tumhaare kaam aaun ya na aaun mujhe awaaz de lena tumhe achha lagega

lagta hai kaii raaton ka jaaga tha musavvir tasveer kii aankhoñ se thakan jhaank rahi hai

rahbar bhi ye hamdam bhi ye gham-khwaar hamaare ustaad ye qaumon ke hain men'maar hamaare

na hon ashaar men maani na sahi KHud kalaami ka zariya hi sahi tum na nawaazo she'r ko na sunaayenge ye meraa zaati nazariya hi sahi

us mulk ki sarhad ko koi choo nahin saka jis mulk ki sarhad ki nigahbaan hain aañkhen

kaii jawaabon se achchhii hai KHaamushi merina jaane kitne sawaalon kii aabroo rakhe
