hai kaun jo batae tumhaara hai ghar kahan
dhundegi tum ko shams-o-qamar ki nazar kahan

rukna padega rah mein ai ham-safar kahan
kya jaane apni sham kahan aur sahar kahan

ai ahl-e-karwan ye tumhein hai khabar kahan
manzil kidhar hai le ke chala rahbar kahan

parwana sadqe hone laga shama par magar
mearaj-e-ishq kya hai use ye khabar kahan

ek sath kah uthe hain sabhi bazm-e-naz mein
aalam mein koi aur sahi tu magar kahan

hum ko sanam ke husn mein husn-e-khuda mila
phir ye batao hum sa koi dida-war kahan

diwana kah raha hai bagulon ko dekh kar
phirne lagi bahaar chaman chhod kar kahan

hum to chalenge sath zamane ke umr bhar
chalta hai apne sath zamana magar kahan

'mukhlis' hawas ko chhod do mera hai mashwara
dekha hai aap ne ye shajar barwar kahan
