aaine mein dekh kar tumne aks apna hi

youn rag rag ko kiyaa meri gadgad

jyun chand par ho jalta diya

aur diye tale preet ka upnishad

tha band daldal ke rasaatal mein tal tal man mera

klii khil uthha jaltal par sheetal kamal mera

kii ankhon mein uthhate har khwaab kii taaseer mein bhi tum thi

aur khushboo se hi ban uthhii us tasveer mein bhi tum thi

ki sehraaon mein basar ka armaan liye tha mai

aur saagaron pe saahilon ka nagma liye tha mai

par pyar hi mera yahaan fir nakaam reh gayaa

wo ashq banke beh gay, mai palakon pe reh gayaa

[*Begaani mehfil mein ruswaa, pyar mera kho gayaa

wo ashq ban k beh gaii mai palkon pe reh gayaa*]
