mile suragh to manzil ka yun suragh mile
kaf-e-hasin pe jalae koi charagh mile

fuzul duri-e-manzil ka zikr hai yaro
tadap nahin hai to manzil ka kya suragh mile

kali kali thi fasurda udas udas the phul
guman jin pe ho jangal ka aise bagh mile

nibah kaise dil-e-sada un se kar pata
qadam the khak pe aur arsh par dimagh mile

ajib baat hai dil ko na kar saken raushan
mah-o-nujum sa raushan jinhen dimagh mile

lahu nichod den rag rag se aur bhar dalen
mai-e-nashat se khali agar ayagh mile

mere liye kisi daulat se kam nahin 'raazi'
khusha-nasib ki ahbab hi se dagh mile
