le aai is maqam pe ab gumrahi mujhe

le aai is maqam pe ab gumrahi mujhe
manzil ne badh ke aap hi aawaz di mujhe
ye baat 'umr-bhar ka sukun de gai mujhe
bhule se us ne yaad kiya tha kabhi mujhe


yarab tere karam ki koi intiha nahin
daman ko apne dekh ke sharm aa gai mujhe
manzil pe puchhte hain nishan mujh se ahl-e-hosh
le aai hai kahan ye meri gumrahi mujhe


jab tak rahi khushi to 'ajab iztirab tha
jab gham mila to aap hi nind aa gai mujhe
'maikash' us ek nazar pe mai-o-mai-kada nisar
jis ne tamam-‘umr ko di sarkhushi mujhe
