nala-e-jaan-gudaz ne mara
soz-e-ulfat ke saz ne mara

ye kaha padh ke mera nama-e-shauq
us sarapa niyaz ne mara

munh se uff bhi to kar nahin sakte
khauf-e-ifsha-e-raaz ne mara

zindagi chain se guzarti thi
chashm-e-nazzara-baz ne mara

dad bhi shauq-e-did ki na mili
jalwa-e-be-niyaz ne mara

maut ki zad se bach gaya jo koi
us ko umr-e-daraaz ne mara

ungliyan har taraf se uthti hain
turra-e-imtiyaz ne mara

koi dam-saz koi hai jaan-baz
aap ke saz-baz ne mara

jis ke qabze mein hai masihai
hum ko is tegh-e-naz ne mara

kya bharosa kisi pe ho ai 'josh'
dil ko ek dil-nawaz ne mara
