samne aao ki main chehra-e-zeba dekhun
aur is aaine mein aks phir apna dekhun

tum hi manzil ho tum hi gauhar-e-maqsud mera
dekh kar tum ko main kya aur tamasha dekhun

tum hi batlao ki is kar-gah-e-hasti mein
kya na dekhun main agar dekhun to kya kya dekhun

tujh ko ye naz koi pa na sakega hargiz
mujh ko ye zid ki tera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa dekhun

tu ne chaha to bahut gardish-e-ayyam ki main
khud tamasha banun apna hi tamasha dekhun

kash is zist mein wo waqt bhi aae 'mahbub'
chaar su dahr mein iman ka ujala dekhun
