jab hamein izn tamasha hoga
tu kahan anjuman-ara hoga

hum na pahunche sar-e-manzil to kya
ham-safar koi to pahuncha hoga

udti hogi kahin khushbu-e-khayal
gul-e-mani kahin khilta hoga

har gul-o-barg hai ek naqsh-e-qadam
kaun is rah se guzra hoga

lab-e-taswir pe goya hai sukhan
koi sun le to tamasha hoga

ab bhi gul-posh dariche ke qarib
tu kisi soch mein duba hoga

aaj ki sham bhi wo sarw-e-jamil
tere aangan mein lahakta hoga

tu ne jab hath chhudaya tha wo pal
tujh ko bhi yaad to aata hoga

dil ye kahta hai tujhi se miliye
main ye kahta hun ki phir kya hoga

dasht-e-furqat mein khada sochta hun
tu kahan anjuman-ara hoga
