hum tere gham ko jo purkar bana kar utthe
nafas-e-garm ko talwar bana kar utthe

aao hum hanste uthen bazm-e-dil-azaran se
kaun ehsas ko bimar bana kar utthe

raat bhar tajraba-e-khun-e-jigar hum ne kiya
subh-dam dasht ko gulzar bana kar utthe

mahfil-e-raaz mein hum sah gae har wahm ki chot
aakhir ek ishq ka mear bana kar utthe

un nigahon ka taqaza-e-sukhan yun tha ki hum
be-zabani ko bhi ashaar bana kar utthe

jab pae-fikr-e-sukhan hum kabhi baithe 'kausar'
sher ko misr ka bazar bana kar utthe
