dekhanaa qismat ki aap apane pe rashk  aa jaae hai
mai.n use dekhuu.N bhalaa kab mujhase dekhaa jaae hai

Gair ko yaarab vo kyo.n kar manaa-e-gustaaKii kare
gar hayaa bhii usako aatii hai to sharmaa jaae hai

shauq ko ye lat ke hardam naalaa Ke.nche jaaiiye
dil ki vo haalat ki dam lene se ghabaraa jaae hai

duur chashm-e-bad terii bazm-e-taraab se vaah vaah
naGmaa ho jaataa hai vaa.N gar naalaa meraa jaae hai

%[parii_ruK = angel faced]

naqsh  ko usake musavvir par bhii kyaa kyaa naaz hai
khe.nchataa hai jis qadar utanaa hii khi.nchataa jaae hai
