hazar shukr ki andesha-e-maal gaya
koi kisi se jo kahne ko dil ka haal gaya

kahan kahan nahin donon ko dastaras hasil
wahin nigah bhi pahunchi jahan khayal gaya

jawab mein na khulen lab to kya ilaj us ka
hansi hansi mein koi meri baat tal gaya

ajab thin falsafi-e-na-murad ki baaten
yaqin ke sath mere dil mein shak bhi dal gaya

qadam qadam pe hue hosh gum 'munawar' ke
talash-e-dost ka sauda gaya khayal gaya
