dil mein jab shoala-e-ehsas machal jata hai

dil mein jab shoala-e-ehsas machal jata hai
mom ki tarah se patthar bhi pighal jata hai
kaise kah dun ki ye suraj hai ujalon ka amin
sham hote hi andheron mein jo dhal jata hai


chand qatron ki mere dost haqiqat kya hai
zarf wala to samundar bhi nigal jata hai
kya zaruri hai ki shoalon ko hawa di jae
jis ko jalna hai wo phulon se bhi jal jata hai


ye siyasat ka hai bazar yahan par yaro
khota sikka bhi khare damon mein chal jata hai
waqt ke sath badal jate hain chehre 'gulshan'
log kahte hain ki aaina badal jata hai
