Wo

wo kitab-e-husn wo ilm o adab ki taliba

wo mohazzab wo muaddab wo muqaddas rahiba

kis qadar pairaya parwar aur kitni sada-kar

kis qadar sanjida o KHamosh kitni ba-waqar

gesu-e-pur-KHam sawad-e-dosh tak pahunche hue

aur kuchh bikhre hue uljhe hue simTe hue

rang mein us ke azab-e-KHirgi shamil nahin

kaif-e-ehsasat ki afsurdagi shamil nahin

wo mere aate hi us ki nukta-parwar KHamushi

jaise koi hur ban jae yakayak falsafi

mujh pe kya KHud apni fitrat par bhi wo khulti nahin

aisi pur-asrar laDki main ne dekhi hi nahin

duKHtaran-e-shahr ki hoti hai jab mahfil kahin

wo taaruf ke liye aage kabhi baDhti nahin
