khwab mein wo mere aaghosh mein aa jata hai
meri soti hui taqdir jaga jata hai

gul-o-shabnam ka ye hota hai chaman mein anjam
hans ke koi to koi ro ke chala jata hai

josh par fasl-e-bahaari hai chaman mein sayyaad
ab qafas mein to nahin hum se raha jata hai

mit gaya hun wo sitam se nahin ghafil phir bhi
meri turbat ka nishan aa ke mita jata hai

jal ke parwana hua khak to us ke gham mein
munh dhuan shama ka mahfil mein hua jata hai

aap ne baith ke baalin pe jise dekha tha
aaj duniya se wo bimar utha jata hai

apne andaz pe aisa na ho aashiq ho jae
aaina-khane mein wo mahw-e-ada jata hai

yaad karta nahin bhule se wo tujh ko 'naushad'
hae tu jis ki mohabbat mein mita jata hai
