gulshan mein le ke chal kisi sahra mein le ke chal
ai dil magar sukun ki duniya mein le ke chal

koi to hoga jis ko mera intizar hai
kahta hai dil ke shahr-e-tamanna mein le ke chal

ye pyas bujh na pai to main dub jaunga
sahil se dur tu mujhe dariya mein le ke chal

pahchanta nahin hai mera nam 'qais' bhi
ai khizr-e-rah kucha-e-laila mein le ke chal
