masrur ho rahe hain gham-e-ashiqi se hum
kyun tang honge kashmakash-e-zindagi se hum

koh-e-alam utha hi liya rah-e-ishq mein
apni khushi ko chhod ke teri khushi se hum

lab-ha-e-yar ne to gulistan piro liye
khushbu jo pa rahe hain teri pankhudi se hum

apni bahaar dekh ke hairan rah gae
waqif hue hain jab se rumuz-e-khudi se hum

meri jabin-e-shauq ko dar un ka mil gaya
uth kar kahan ko jaen dar-e-bandagi se hum

rah-e-wafa mein ji ke mare mar ke bhi jiye
khela usi tarah se kiye zindagi se hum

daman ko tar-tar kiya manzilen milin
aaenge ab na hosh mein diwangi se hum

khud dard ban gaya mera darman-e-zindagi
itna qarib ho gae kuchh dard hi se hum

jo maqsad-e-hayat ko bhule wahi kahen
tang aa chuke hain kashmakash-e-zindagi se hum

'wasil' ke dagh-e-dil se hai manzil ki raushni
warna nikal ke aate bhala tirgi se hum
