sair e duniyaa kare dil, baagh kaa dar to khole

sair e duniyaa kare dil, baagh kaa dar to khole
ye parindaa kabhi parwaaz ko par to khole


main to taaumr tere shaher mein ruknaa chaahoo.n
koi aakar meraa asbaab e safar to khole


kHud bhi jangal ko mujhe kaaTnaa aa jaayegaa
par wo shahzaadaa meri neend kaa dar to khole


phool kuch tez mahek waale bhi is baar khile
aake barsaat meraa zakHm e jigar to khole


kitni aankhe.n hain jo bhooli nahin shab paimaayi
baano e shaher magar lutf kaa dar to khole
