aarzu mahw-e-khwab hai shayad
justuju ka jawab hai shayad

zakhm-e-dil key bahaar kya kahiye
muskuraata gulab hai shayad

ek nai tishnagi ba-har lamha
sari duniya sarab hai shayad

ahd-e-mazi pe jab nazar dali
ek adhuri kitab hai shayad

koi jita hai koi marta hai
zindagani habab hai shayad

'raushni' is ghazal ki sarmasti
us ghazal ki sharab hai shayad
