surmai sham hai mausam hai suhana aana
is se pahle ki main ho jaun fasana aana

mujh se pahle hi kai log khafa rahte hain
mujh se jal jae zara aur zamana aana

ek tera husn gulabon sa ghazal surat hai
ek ye sawan ka mahina hai suhana aana

roz kahte ho mujhe aaj to ye hai wo hai
aaj duniya se koi kar ke bahana aana

aakhiri jang main ladne ke liye nikla hun
phir rahe ya na rahe tera diwana aana

log kahte hain tujhe bhul ke bhi zinda rahun
main ne puchha tha magar dil nahin mana aana

log to log hain jo chahe wo kah sakte hain
tu to mera hai mere dil ko dukha na aana

tu bhi shamshir-e-badan mast-ada tir-e-nigah
main bhi baitha hun ki ho jaun nishana aana

dushman-e-jaan samajhta hai ki tanha hun main
main ne dushman ko batana hai ki na na aana

muskuraata hun magar dar hai kisi mahfil mein
ashk aankhon se na ho jaen rawana aana

wo jo masum sa shair hai 'mubarak' 'ahmad'
us ka duniya mein faqat tu hai khazana aana
