jo jo shuur-e-zehn pe aata chala gaya
dil kulfaton ke dagh mitata chala gaya

la kar bahaar-e-nau ke gul-e-nudrat-e-khayal
sahra ko main chaman sa banata chala gaya

allah ka ye fazl hai mujh pe ki bahr-e-ilm
kuze se mere dil mein samata chala gaya

alfaz ke guhar se ghazal ki zamin ko main
jaise falak-nazhad banta chala gaya

tar-e-nafas pe chhed ke ek naghma-e-hayat
main aagahi ke saz pe gata chala gaya

ulfat ki rah kar ke zamane pe aashkar
'ahsan' main khar-e-rah hatata chala gaya
