dil ke zakhmon ki chubhan dida-e-tar se puchho
mere ashkon ka hai kya mol guhar se puchho

ghar jala baithe charaghon ki hawas mein aakhir
ghar ki qimat to kisi khak-basar se puchho

ye to malum hai main samt-e-safar kho baithi
tum isi baat ko andaz-e-digar se puchho

ret udti hai sujhai nahin deta kuchh bhi
kat sakegi kabhi ye raat sahar se puchho

yun to majnun bhi hua kohkan o mansur hue
ghayal ab kaun hua tir-e-nazar se puchho

log kahte hain mujhe sang-e-sar-e-rah 'bushra'
qadr-o-qimat meri kuchh ahl-e-hunar se puchho
