meri haalat dekhiye mera taDapna dekhiye

aap ko is se gharaz kya hai ki kya samjha tha main

khul gaya ye raaz un aankhon ke ashk-e-naz se

kaifiyat-e-husn ko gham se juda samjha tha main

ai jabin-e-shauq han tujh ko baDi zahmat hui

aaj har zarre ko un ka naqsh-e-pa samjha tha main

ek nazar par munhasir thi zist ki kul kaenat

har nazar ko jaan jaan-e-muddaa samjha tha main

aa raha hai kyun kisi ka nam honTon tak mere
