ek charagh-e-dil faqat raushan agar mera bhi hai
rahnuma mera bhi hai phir rahbar mera bhi hai

ab talak hairan hun main raat ke us khwab se
khun ki barsat hai ghar tar-ba-tar mera bhi hai

shart har manzur kar li zindagi ki main ne bhi
dastakhat ab is qarar-e-zist par mera bhi hai

yun bahaaron ke liye mahw-e-dua rahta hun main
phul ki manind ek lakht-e-jigar mera bhi hai

husn hai tu tera bhi charcha rahega daimi
ishq hun main aur afsana amar mera bhi hai

ped mitti dhup pani mein adawat ho gai
phul lagte hi sabhi bole samar mera bhi hai

mah-o-anjum rakh na rakh us mein mere malik magar
aasman ek chahiye mujh ko ki sar mera bhi hai

aalamon ki baat ka 'saurabh' bharosa hai mujhe
tajraba kuchh zindagi ka han magar mera bhi hai
