gulzar-e-mohabbat mein na phule na phale hum
manind-e-chinar aag mein apni hi jale hum

muddat pe jo kal us se mile ho gae be-khud
samjha na gaya ye ki mile kis ke gale hum

lohu ki tarah jam gae talwar ke munh par
tukde hue par aage se us ke na tale hum

aazurda 'abas hote ho tum nala-kashi se
lo khush raho ai ham-nafasan yan se chale hum

ai wa'da ghalat to nahin aane ka phir andher
samjhen hain tera khub ye aare-o-bale hum

be-rahm kisi ne na khabar li tere dar par
jun naqsh-e-qadam dil hi gae panw tale hum

mahfuz rakha 'ishq ne iza-e-ajal se
kunjashk the par changul-e-shahin mein pale hum

jab 'ishq ki aatish dil-e-afsurda mein bhadki
patthar the pe shishe hi ke manind gale hum

aankho mein khalaiq ke bure thahre hain 'joshish'
is hasti-e-mauhum mein aae the bhale hum
