hum ne dekha hai bhare shahr mein saya apna
ek suraj hai pas-e-pusht paraya apna

gham-kada ashk-e-musalsal se nihaal-e-shab hai
zakhm-e-taza ko dar-e-yar banaya apna

chand se par koi raat basera dale
hum se puchhe hai koi khun bahaya apna

ab to har shakl yahan zeb-e-numaish thahri
hum ne tamsil-nagar aisa basaya apna

dukhtar-e-mashriq-o-maghrib ko bhi dekho 'kausar'
ruh ko aam kiya kuchh na chhupaya apna
