mai-kade ke siwa mili hai kahan
aur duniya mein raushni hai kahan

aarzuon ka ek hujum sahi
fursat-e-shauq kho gai hai kahan

jitne warafta-e-safar hain hum
utni rahon mein dilkashi hai kahan

sath aae koi ki rah jae
zindagi mud ke dekhti hai kahan

khush-ada sab hain aashna 'jawed'
apni aawargi chhupi hai kahan
