jo mai-kade se bhi daman bacha bacha ke chale
teri gali se jo guzre to ladkhada ke chale

hamein bhi qissa-e-dar-o-rasan se nisbat hai
faqih-e-shahr se kah do nazar mila ke chale

koi to jaane ki guzri hai dil pe kya jab bhi
khizan ke bagh mein jhonke khunuk hawa ke chale

ab e'tiraf-e-jafa aur kis tarah hoga
ki teri bazm mein qisse meri wafa ke chale

hazar hont mile hon to kya fasana-e-dil
sunane wale nigahon se bhi suna ke chale

kahin suragh-e-chaman mil hi jaega 'rahat'
chalo udhar ko jidhar qafile saba ke chale
