Jo Mai-kade Mein Bahakte Hain LaDkhaDate Hain

jo mai-kade mein bahakte hain laDkhaDate hain

mera KHayal hai wo tishnagi chhupate hain

zara sa waqt ke suraj ne ruKH jo badla hai

mere wajud pe kuchh sae muskuraate hain

dilon ki samt pe lafzon ke sang mat phenko

zara si Thes se aaine TuT jate hain

tilism-e-zat ki phaili hai tirgi itni

ki wusaton ke ujale simaTte jate hain

sitam-zarifi-e-haalat ka karishma hai

bhaTakne wale mujhe raste batate hain

jinhen 'hayat' shuur-e-hayat hasil hai

fareb dete nahin hain fareb khate hain
