ishq karte ho khasaron ki taraf mat dekho
do qadam chal ke sahaaron ki taraf mat dekho

apne andar ke ajaib ki karo sair kabhi
sirf bahar ke nazaron ki taraf mat dekho

par utarna hai to phir kud pado dariya mein
aise mud-mud ke kinaron ki taraf mat dekho

hum se zarre bhi qataron mein khade hain kab se
bas chamakte hue taron ki taraf mat dekho

khat-e-tansikh agar khinchna wajib ho to phir
tegh lahra do hazaron ki taraf mat dekho

'altamash' tum ko na bhatka den ye manzil se kahin
ye ishaare hain ishaaron ki taraf mat dekho
