mili hai rah-e-mohabbat mein eatibar ki chhanw
sulagte sahra mein hai sath tere pyar ki chhanw

wo teri zulf-e-girah-gir ka ghana saya
khizan mein aane lagi yaad wo bahaar ki chhanw

teri wafa ne wafa ki nahin isi gham mein
tere khutut ko deni padi ghubar ki chhanw

jo teri zat ki hamd-o-sana se hai mansub
mujhe nasib ho maula usi dayar ki chhanw

sitamgaron pe chali aur ban gai mukhlis
sitam-rasida pe shamshir-e-ab-dar ki chhanw

ye aisa ped hai jo aag hi ugalta hai
hamein nasib kahan hizb-e-iqtidar ki chhanw

hun sukha ped teri rahguzar ka ai 'mahshar'
so de raha hun tujhe mere ikhtiyar ki chhanw
