ye mere chaaron taraf kis liye ujala hai
tera khayal hai ya din nikalne wala hai

yaqin mano main kab ka bikhar gaya hota
tumhaari yaad ne ab tak mujhe sambhaala hai

hujum-e-jashn mein karta hai gham-zadon ko talash
mujhe junun ne ajab imtihan mein dala hai

kisi ka nam to hum le ke shab mein sote hain
koi to hai jo sahar-dam jagane wala hai

zamana-saz daren gardish-e-zamana se
hamara kya hai hamein hadson ne pala hai

yahi bahut hai ki naqsh-e-qadam se bach jaen
sukhan mein rasta kis ne naya nikala hai

khuda kare ki use ilm bhi na ho 'mohsin'
wo jis ke gird meri chahaton ka haala hai
