mohabbat mein thani aksar yahan tak
ki pahunche marke tir o kaman tak

chale nawak khinchi zalim kaman tak
kahan tak imtihan aakhir kahan tak

chale jate hain aawaz-e-jaras par
pahunch jaenge bichhde karwan tak

hawa-e-shauq ke jhonke salamat
rahoge tum pas-e-parda kahan tak

na wo ayyar mujh se puchhta hai
na dil ki baat aati hai zaban tak

usi sar ko sar-e-shorida kahiye
jo pahunche us ke sang-e-astan tak

niyaz o naz ke charche rahenge
hamari aur tumhaari dastan tak

'mubarak' ko koi din aur sun lo
bayan ka lutf hai us khush-bayan tak
