meri hasti ka jalwon mein tere ru-posh ho jaana
yahin to hai bas ek qatra ka dariya-nosh ho jaana

tumhein kya gham mubarak ho tumhein ru-posh ho jaana
hua jata hai afsana mera behosh ho jaana

wahi samjhe hain kuchh kuchh zindagi-o-maut ka hasil
jinhen aata hai jite ji kafan bar-dosh ho jaana

ye achchhi ibtida ki aap ne ai hazrat-e-musa
dam-e-didar ab lazim hua behosh ho jaana

zamin ka zarra zarra aaina-dar-e-haqiqat hai
kahin apne hi jalwon mein na tum ru-posh ho jaana

bisat-e-dahr mein ghafil bhala jine ka hasil kya
ki marna bhi jahan par ho wabaal-e-dosh ho jaana

wo sar zanu pe un ke wo hawa zulf-e-moambar ki
hamein to hosh se badh kar hai yun behosh ho jaana

nazar aate hain ab jalwe hi jalwe har taraf mujh ko
dalil-e-hoshiyari tha mera behosh ho jaana

wo uthna jalwa-gah-e-naz ke parde ka nazron se
wo mera dekhte hi dekhte behosh ho jaana

kahin nakaam rah jae na zauq-e-justuju apna
adam se bhi khayal-e-yar ham-aghosh ho jaana

guzar ja manzil-e-ehsas ki had se bhi ai 'afqar'
kamal-e-be-khudi hai be-niyaz-e-hosh ho jaana
