chhodo ab us charagh ka charcha bahut hua
apna to sab ke hathon khasara bahut hua

kya be-sabab kisi se kahin ubte hain log
bawar karo ki zikr tumhaara bahut hua

baithe rahe ki tez bahut thi hawa-e-shauq
dasht-e-hawas ka garche irada bahut hua

aakhir ko uth gae the jo ek baat kah ke hum
sunte hain phir usi ka iada bahut hua

milne diya na us se hamein jis khayal ne
socha to is khayal se sadma bahut hua

achchha to ab safar ho kisi aur samt mein
ye roz-o-shab ka jagna sona bahut hua
