Mujse mat pooch ki kyun aankh jhuka li maine,
teri tasveer thi jo tujhse chupa li maine,
jis pe likha tha ki tu mere muqaddar mein nahi,
apne maathe ki woh tehreer mita li meine,


har janm sabko yahaan sachha pyaar kahaan milta hai,
teri chaahat mein to umr bita li meine,
mujhko jaane kahaan ehsaas mere le jaayein,
waqt ke haathon se ek nazm utha li meine,


ghere rehti hai mujhe ek anokhi khushbu,
teri yaadon se har ek saans saja li meine,
jiske sheron ko woh sunke bahut roya tha,
bas wohi ek ghazal sabse chupa li meine.
