Apni tasveer ko aankhon se lagaata kya hai..

Apni tasveer ko aankhon se lagaata kya hai,
Ik nazar meri taraf bhi tera jaata kya hai,

Meri ruswaayi main woh bhi hain baraabar ke shareek,
Mere qisse mere yaron ko sunaata kya hai,

Paas reh kar bhi na pehchaan saka tu mujh ko,
Duur se dekh ke ab haath hilaata kya hai,

Zehn ke pardon pe manzil ke hayuule na bana,
Ghaur se dekhta jaa raah main aata kya hai,

Zakhm-e-dil jurm nahin torr bhi de mohr-e-sukuut,
Jo tujhe jaante hain un se chupaata kya hai,

safar-e-shauq main kyuun kaanpte hain paaon tere,
Aaankh rakhta hai to phir aankh churaata kya hai,

Umr bhar apne girebaan se ulajhne wale,
Tu mujhe mere hi saaye se daraata kya hai,

Chandni dekh ke chehre ko chupaane wale,
Dhoop main baith ke ab baal sukhaata kya hai,

Mar gaye pyaas ke maare to utha abr-e-karam,
Bujh gayi bazm to ab shammaa jalaata kya hai,

Main tera kuch bhi nahin hon magar itna to bata,
Dekh kar mujh ko tere zehn main ata kya hai,

Tera ehsas zara sa teri hasti payab,
To samandar ki tarah shor machaata kya hai,

Teri awaz ka jaadu sa chale ga un par,
Jaagne waalon ko “shehzad” jagaata kya hai..
