kamar kaso to masafat ki aabru rakhna
jo chal pado to na manzil ki aarzu rakhna

bikhar raha hai sabhi kuchh agarche duniya mein
hayat-e-nau ki magar phir bhi justuju rakhna

jahan mein log faqat zindagi nibhate hain
bada kamal hai jine ko khub-ru rakhna

agar nigah-o-nazar mein ho rahmat-e-mutlaq
jhukae sar mere maula ke ru-ba-ru rakhna

wazahaton ke liye bar bar jaana ho
isi khayal se mubham si guftugu rakhna

khizan ke baad chaman mein bahaar aane par
rawish-rawish wahi afsana-e-numu rakhna

sawal zist ka dushwar hai bahut 'adil'
ki aarzu nahin rakhna ya aarzu rakhna
