ghunchon ne dahan khole kaliyon ne li angdai
yun sehn-e-gulistan mein chupke se bahaar aai

duniya use kahti hai phir kis liye saudai
jo khud hi ho diwana aur khud hi tamashai

kyunkar na karun ai dil us gham ki pazirai
ghurbat mein yahi to hai ek monis-e-tanhai

kahte na the ek din wo mail-ba-karam honge
ye zabt ki aadat hi aakhir mere kaam aai

har gam rukawat hai hail rah-e-manzil mein
hoti hai musafir ki yun hausla-afzai

kyun-kar na zamane ki aankhon se chhapaun main
har chiz se pyari hai mujh ko meri tanhai

'hasrat' rah-e-ulfat mein aakhir wo maqam aaya
lene ke liye mujh ko manzil mere pas aai
