Qaid-e-aaina

Yun fursat se tera deedar karte hain,
Lo is baat ka hum aaj izhaar karte hain.

Jo talo aftaab mein nazrein chaar huin,
Shab-e-mahtab tak aahein beshumaar bharte hain.

Kabhi laton ko suljhaana, kabhi aankhon ka sharmaana,
Har mizaaj ko tere, aks mein barqarar rakhte hain.

Bas is aaine se ab humein nikaale koi!
