khirad ka nur basirat ki raushni le kar
jabin-e-shauq jhuke zauq-e-bandagi le kar

rah-e-hayat ki zulmat hai do ghadi ke liye
wo aa rahe hain mohabbat ki raushni le kar

dimagh-o-dil mein abhi aap ke andhera hai
qadam badhaiye kuchh hum se raushni le kar

dilon ka bughz chhupae se chhup nahin sakta
na aao samne paigham-e-ashti le kar

khizan-rasida gulistan mein dil nahin lagta
ab aa bhi jao bahaaron ki tazgi le kar

har ek samt hain bikhre hue kai chehre
wufur-e-dard mein dubi hui hansi le kar

use bhi hum qad-o-qamat se jaan lete hain
phire hai chehre pe chehra jo aadmi le kar

tumhaari tarah se nazuk-mizaj hum bhi hain
badhao jam na tewar mein barhami le kar

ye baune nap rahe hain har ek ke qad ko
dil-o-dimagh mein sauda-e-khud-sari le kar

ai 'soz' bhulenge kaise sukhan-shanas unhen
guzar gae jo bahaar-e-sukhan-wari le kar
