hushyar hain to hum ko bahak jaana chahiye
be-samt rasta hai bhatak jaana chahiye

dekho kahin piyale mein koi kami na ho
labrez ho chuka to chhalak jaana chahiye

harf-e-rajaz se yun nahin hota koi kamal
baatin tak is sada ki dhamak jaana chahiye

girta nahin masaf mein bismil kisi tarah
ab dast-e-neza-kar ko thak jaana chahiye

tai ho chuke sab aabla-pai ke marhale
ab ye zamin gulabon se dhak jaana chahiye

shayad pas-e-ghubar tamasha dikhai de
is rah-guzar pe dur talak jaana chahiye
