suhani yaad ka dhoka na kharch ho jae
mera ye aakhiri sikka na kharch ho jae

mujhe hai shauq mera kam-sukhan kahe kuchh to
use hai fikr ki jumla na kharch ho jae

gulab sukh na jae kitab mein rakkha
pas-e-naqab hi chehra na kharch ho jae

tumhaari aankh mein is waste nahin takte
hamari pyas pe dariya na kharch ho jae

na yun bhi saint ke rakkho ki bhul hi jao
pada pada koi pura na kharch ho jae

mujhe khabar hai wo dariya-mizaj aadmi hai
mujh aise dasht ka pura na kharch ho jae
