milta nahin mizaj khud apni ada mein hai
teri gali se aa ke saba bhi hawa mein hai

ai ishq teri dusri manzil bhi hai kahin
marna hai ibtida mein to kya intiha mein hai

lati hai jab saba to chamakte hain baam-o-dar
ye raushni si kya teri bu-e-qaba mein hai

har rahguzar nishan hai teri samt ka magar
iqrar-e-na-rasi bhi har ek naqsh-e-pa mein hai

tausif-e-husn asl mein hai wasf-e-husn-e-saz
bandon se jis ko pyar hai yaad-e-khuda mein hai

ye tishnagi ye pas-e-wafa ye hujum-e-gham
kya karwan-e-shauq kisi karbala mein hai

sun kar ki 'hosh' ne bhi kiya tark-e-arzu
kohram ek macha hua shahr-e-wafa mein hai
