mai-kasho jam utha lo ki ghataen aain
ishrabu kahti hui sard hawaen aain

ishq o ulfat ki saza mil gai aakhir mujh ko
mere aage meri masum khataen aain

ab tawajjoh to mere haal pe ho jati hai
shukr karta hun ki is but ko jafaen aain

khanda-zan dagh-e-maasi pe hui jati hai
lo meri sharm-e-gunah ko bhi adaen aain

wahi marne ki tamanna wahi jine ki hawas
na jafaen tumhein aain na wafaen aain

phir wo aamada hue mujh pe barasne ke liye
phir mere sar pe musibat ki ghataen aain

is qadar jaur-e-hasinan se raha khauf-zada
huren aain to main samjha ki balaen aain

koh-e-gham tha mera inam-e-mohabbat shayad
chaar jaanib se uthaalo ki sadaen aain

dubne wali hai kya kashti-e-ummid ai 'josh'
mauj tadpi lab-e-sahil pe duaen aain
