dard-e-dil soz-e-jigar bhi rakhna
jis mein sauda ho wo sar bhi rakhna

kucha-e-ishq mein rakkha hai qadam
to hatheli pe ye sar bhi rakhna

us ki rahmat se umid aur dil mein
su-e-anjam ka dar bhi rakhna

dil mein paiwast hue tir-e-nazar
kaam aaya na sipar bhi rakhna

kuch karna hai tumhein bhi ek din
sath kuchh zad-e-safar bhi rakhna

ras 'maqsud' khushi gar aae
gham ke maron pe nazar bhi rakhna
