dil pe jo guzri koi kya jaane
ye to hum jaanen ya khuda jaane

khak jhelega wo musibat-e-ishq
jo laga kar na phir bujha jaane

tu hi apna maqam jaanta hai
ek zulum-o-juhul kya jaane

kya kare arz-e-muddaa wo bashar
ibtida ko jo intiha jaane

baada-noshon ka hashr kya hoga
mujh bala-nosh ki bala jaane

baat rindi ki mujh ko aati hai
parsai ki parsa jaane

tujh ko apni khabar nahin ai 'josh'
to khudai ke raaz kya jaane
