hum yunhi bikhre nahin har-su khas-o-khashak mein
hain numu-bar-dosh rang-o-bu khas-o-khashak main

us ke hone ka guman rahta hai mere aas-pas
har taraf rach-bas gai khushbu khas-o-khashak main

ho samar-awar hamari aabla-pai kahin
chain aa jae kasi pahlu khas-o-khashak main

chahiye hoti hai kisht-e-zar ko jab bhi kuchh numu
main baha deta hun kuchh aansu khas-o-khashak mein

jaanti hai wo basirat tak ko uljhane ka fan
jau kashish hai surat-e-jadu khas-o-khashak main

jab udhar uthte hain tale-azmaun ke qadam
bujhne lagte hain idhar jugnu khas-o-khashak main

ye to ai 'jawed' guzre mausamon ki rakh hai
aakhirash kya dhundhta hai tu khas-o-khashak main
