ujla tera bartan hai aur saf tera pani
ek umr ka pyasa hun mujh ko bhi pila pani

hai ek khat-e-nadida dariya-e-mohabbat mein
hota hai jahan aa kar pani se juda pani

donon hi to sachche the ilzam kise dete
kanon ne kaha sahra aankhon ne suna pani

kya kya na mili mitti kya kya na dhuan phaila
kala na hua sabza maila na hua pani

jab sham utarti hai kya dil pe guzarti hai
sahil ne bahut puchha khamosh raha pani

phir dekh ki ye duniya kaisi nazar aati hai
'mushtaq' mai-e-gham mein thoda sa mila pani
