ramz-gar bhi gaya ramz-dan bhi gaya
husn ke sath husn-e-bayan bhi gaya

sar se taron bhari sar-zamin bhi gai
panw se khak ka aasman bhi gaya

phul hi phul the kunj-e-azar mein
tum wahan bhi na the main wahan bhi gaya

pahle mitti udi manzilon ki taraf
phir use dhundne karwan bhi gaya

main akela na tha ku-ruswai mein
sath virana-e-jism-o-jaan bhi gaya

rang pasti ke phir bhi na ifsha hue
yun to patal tak aasman bhi gaya

ishq mein baam-o-dar bhi na pichhe rahe
sath apne makin ke makan bhi gaya

'tabish' apne basere ki jaanib chalo
is se kya tum ko suraj jahan bhi gaya
