chalo kuchh to rah tai ho na chale to bhul hogi
abhi band har gali hai jo khulegi tul hogi

tere husn ki wadiat meri jurat-e-nazara
tere ru-ba-ru jhukegi to nazar ki bhul hogi

mere ham-safar badhenge mujhe rasta bata kar
mere panw se udi hai mere sar pe dhul hogi

mujhe qibla-ru bitha kar mere hath uthane walo
ye yaqin bhi dila do ki dua qubul hogi

chalo man len ye donon koi shai hai maslahat bhi
na sitam ka dil dukhega na wafa malul hogi

tera fan-e-qissa-goi abhi dar tak hi pahuncha
mere shauq ki kahani abhi aur tul hogi

wo lahu ki dhaar 'afzal' jo hai qarz khanjaron par
na karenge hum taqaza na kabhi wasul hogi
