Poem:
Jab se wafaa ke asuul badalne lagay
Hum to aashiqui ko tarasne lagay.
Pohanch gaye kamzor theekano par,
Ravadari ko istarah chipakne lagay.
Doston se kiya jun jun ijtinaab,
Ik ik ke naqab hi utarne lagay.
Dete dete wasta pyaar k ehsas ka,
Jism k sab aaza sukarne lagay.
Jab se unhein ajnabi se lagne lagay.
Tab se hum aainay se katne lagay…
Is pyar se kia usne ruswa humein,
Waqif raston mein bhatakne lagay.
Kisi baat par to ho khud se khafa,
Jo ab mazaq bhi tanay lagne lagay.
Leliye saray huquq to hum se yun,
Jese kuucha baazaar mein bikne lagay.
Ik dil hi se jo utre, to hum goya…
Jannat k zeenay se hi utarne lagay.
Dekh phir bhi tu is pyaar ki shidat,
K judai k apne hi rang nikherne lagay.
Yaad dilatay rahay usay khayal rakhna,
Tab bhi nahi bhulay jb bicherne lagay.
Hua pashemaan baag ka paasbaan,
Baharon mei phuul jo jarnay lagay…
Sunliya sannata, Sohani dharkanon ka?
Is baag k phul kahin aur dharakne lagay.
— Dedicated to the game-changers.
