lagae baiThe hain mehndi jo mere KHun se poron mein
yahi to rahzanon mein hain yahi hain dil ke choron mein
paDe rahte hain aksar su-e-mushkin ru-e-jaanan par
bahut dekha hai hum ne ittifaq in kale goron mein
lagai aag un ke husn-e-alam-soz ne har-su
jalane chau-lakha baiThe hain yun kore sakoron mein
wufur-e-sohbat-e-aghyar se kuchh aise khul khele
na wo jhenpen hazaron mein na sharmaen karoron mein
hamein ku-e-butan se do-qadam uThne nahin deti
hamari na-tawani in dinon hai aise zoron mein
aman deta nahin wo chahne walon ko mar kar bhi
hamare nam ko zalim ne piTwaya DhinDhoron mein
mere nalon ka 'ashiq' rang uDaya andalibon ne
KHiram-e-yar ki shohrat hui sare chakoron mein
Ghazal
Lagae baiThe hain mehndi jo mere KHun se poron mein
