Kuch to hawa bhi sard thi, kuch to tera khyal bhi,
dil ko khushi ke sath sath hota raha malal bhi;
baat wo aadhi raat ki, raat wo poore chand ki,
chand bhi ain chet ka, us pe tera jamal bhi;
sabse nazar bacha ke wo, mujhko wo aise dekhta,
eik dafa to ruk gayi, gardishe mah o saal bhi;
dil to chamak sakega kya, phir tarash ke dekh lein,
sheesha garan e shahr ke hath ka yeh kamal bhi;
Us ko na pa sake thay jab dil ka ajeeb haal tha ,
ab jo palat ke dekhiye baat thi kuch muhaal bhi !!!
