Ek haseen ilzaam ko pyar kar sake to kar
Dil ke dharkano pe ekhtayaar kar sake to kar

Aaj koi nazm na ghazal hi mere paas hai
Unkahe lafzon pe dil nisaar kar sake to kar

Laut kar aate hue hai waqt ko dekha nahi
Jasba- e- junoon intzaar kar sake to kar

Shakl mein insaan ki kya kuch chupa lete hain log
Kabhi aayeene ko zaar zaar kar sake to kar

Yun gam-e-dil dega saki aaj fir jis naam se
Us tabasuum ke kashish ko paar kar sake to kar

Zahkm aise bhi jo parat dar parat main dab gaye
Ek tanha shaam gam gusaar kar sake to kar
