Goongy labo’N pe harf-e-tamanna kia mujhy
kis kor chashm shab mein sitara kia mujhy
jab harf na shanaas, yaha’N lafz fehm hain
kion zouq-e-shair dy k tamasha kia mujhy
khushboo hy, chandni hy, lab-e-joo hy aur mei’N
kis by panah raat mein tanha kia mujhy
di tishnagi khuda ny, to chashmy bhi dy diay
seeny mein dasht, aankho’N mein daria kiya mujhy
mein yoo’N sambhal gae, keh teri by wafai ny
by aitbaario’N sy shanasaa kia mujhy
wo apni aik zaat mein, kul kainaat tha
dunia ke har fraib sy, milva dia mujhy
Parveen Shakir from "Khushboo
