mayusiyon ka aalam andaz-e-guftugu mein
nakaamiyon ka matam izhaar-e-arzu mein

muhtaj-e-ghair kab tha qissa mera tumhaara
kya dakhl tha kisi ka aapas ki guftugu mein

afsana-e-wafa ki qaem ho koi surkhi
aankhon se ashk niklen dube hue lahu mein

wo hain jafa ke khugar mujh ko wafa ki khwahish
main un ki justuju mein wo meri justuju mein

manzil pe kya pahunchte allah re na-muradi
utthe qadam to baitha dil rah-e-justuju mein

ghafil gulon ka is mein kal tak pata na hoga
kya mahw ho raha hai duniya-e-rang-o-bu mein

zahid ko mai-kade mein le aae kash koi
kambakht mar mitega jannat ki aarzu mein

sau chaak ho rahe the har chaak se numayan
karte rafu kahan tak daman-e-arzu mein

'masud' ek saghar kafi tha bahr-e-ishrat
kyon pi sharab itni kanta laga gulu mein
