aakhir aakhir ek gham hi aashna rah jaega
aur wo gham bhi mujh ko ek din dekhta rah jaega

sochta hun ashk-e-hasrat hi karun nazr-e-bahaar
phir khayal aata hai mere pas kya rah jaega

ab hawaen hi karengi raushni ka faisla
jis diye mein jaan hogi wo diya rah jaega

aaj agar ghar mein yahi rang-e-shab-e-ishrat raha
log so jaenge darwaza khula rah jaega

ta-had-e-manzil tawazun chahiye raftar mein
jo musafir tez-tar aage badha rah jaega

ghar kabhi ujda nahin ye ghar ka shajara hai gawah
hum gae to aa ke koi dusra rah jaega

raushni 'mahshar' rahegi raushni apni jagah
main guzar jaunga mera naqsh-e-pa rah jaega
