kucha-e-yar mein gadai ki
ek yahi kaam ki kamai ki

hae wo intizar ke lamhe
aah ye saaten judai ki

hum ne husn-e-ada kaha is ko
jab kabhi tu ne kaj-adai ki

dosto dekh bhaal kar chalna
sakht manzil hai aashnai ki

shaikh-sahab khuda hi ban baithe
hai buri chat parsai ki

rang-e-'hasrat' mein aaj ai 'kausar'
khub tu ne ghazal-sarai ki
