ret se but na banaa ai mere achchhe fan_kaar 

ek lamhe ko Thahar mai.n tujhe patthar laa duu.N 
mai.n tere saamane ambaar lagaa duu.N lekin 
kaun se rang kaa patthar tere kaam aayegaa 
surKh patthar jise dil kahatii hai bedil duniyaa 
yaa vo pattharaa_ii hu_ii aa.Nkh kaa niilaa patthar 
jis me.n sadiyo.n ke tahayyur ke pa.De ho.n Dore 

kyaa tujhe ruuh ke patthar kii zaruurat hogii 
jis pe haq baat bhii patthar kii tarah giratii hai 
ik vo patthar hai jise kahate hai.n tahaziib-e-safed 
us ke mar_mar me.n siyah Khuun jhalak jaataa hai 
ik insaaf kaa patthar bhii to hotaa hai magar 
haath me.n teshaa-e-zar ho to vo haath aataa hai 

jitane mayaar hai.n is daur ke sab patthar hai.n 
sher bhii raqs bhii tasviir-o-ginaa bhii patthar 
mere ilhaam teraa zahan-e-rasaa bhii patthar 
is zamaane me.n har fan kaa nishaa.N patthar hai 
haath patthar hai.n tere merii zubaa.N patthar hai 
ret se but na banaa ai mere achchhe fan_kaar
