AasmaaN samjhooN ya behtaa huaa darya samjhooN 
Aey musavvir teri tasveer ko maiN kya samjhooN 

Jaisay baandha hai hawaaoN pe koi pul toonay 
Ya utaara hai zameeN par koi baadal toonay 
Ya kisi naaz ka lehraya hai aaNchal toonay 

Tujhay naadaan ya daAna ya phir aashiq samjhooN 
Aey musavvir teri tasveer ko maiN kya samjhooN 

Kabhi lagtee hai falak-bosa imaarat jaisee 
To kabhi doobti kashti ki hai mayyat jaisee 
Kabhi maKHfoof lagay hai kabhi jannat jaisee 

BaDi "Dilkash" hai magar maiN isay samjhooN ya na samjhooN 
Aey musavvir teri tasveer ko maiN kya samjhooN
