mere is tapida khun mein koi tegh si dhale to
jo maraz bana hai mera yahi gham dawa bane to

ye jahan-e-atish-o-khun yahi rang ang us ka
dil-e-narm khud bhi mera isi rang mein dhale to

wo hazar wahshaten jo mere khun mein nachti hain
kabhi ek aisa mela sar-e-bazm bhi saje to

meri khasta rozgari mere aade thi wagarna
main bhi ku-ba-ku nikalta mere pas khwab the to

sar-e-waqt kya likha hai wo bhi dekh lenge 'kawish'
dil-e-band par junun ke nae bab wa hue to
