mushkil ye imtiyaz teri rahguzar mein hai
manzil safar mein hai ki musafir safar mein hai

hun muztarib magar teri surat nazar mein hai
pahlu bhi ek sukun ka dard-e-jigar mein hai

thodi si khak main ne utha li zamin se
ab sari zindagi ka khulasa nazar mein hai

ai aaftab-e-subh idhar bhi koi kiran
muddat se ek gharib umid-e-sahar mein hai

puchho na ek ek se mere junun ka raaz
mere junun ka raaz tumhaari nazar mein hai

kabe ko manta hun magar is yaqin ke sath
kaba bhi ek maqam teri rahguzar mein hai

mana ki sab ne aap ko dekha hai shauq se
pahchanne khulus-e-nazar kis nazar mein hai

fasl-e-bahaar aai hai kaise yaqin karen
'shaarib' hai jis ka nam wo diwana ghar mein hai
