hasti mein us ka jalwa ayan pa raha hun aaj
dil ko tasawwuraat se bahla raha hun aaj

mil jae koi bab khushi ka main is liye
phir se kitab-e-zist ko dohra raha hun aaj

ab apna zarf-e-mai-kashi dikhlane ke liye
saqi ke hathon khub piye ja raha hun aaj

mahfil mein khas un ki aqidat ke waste
hathon pe apne dil ko liye ja raha hun aaj

manzil pe main hun ya ki fareb-e-nazar hai ye
har samt main hi khud ko nazar aa raha hun aaj

un ke mariz-e-hijr ne ye kah ke jaan di
kal aaenge wo dekhne main ja raha hun aaj

'ahmad' zamana did ka hai jis ki muntazir
har-su main us ka jalwa ayan pa raha hun aaj
