pahle jo hum chale to faqat yar tak chale
phir fan se le ke hujra-e-fankar tak chale

but-khana-e-jahan se inkar hai mujhe
lekin wo kya hue the jo inkar tak chale

mahw-e-khayal teri tajalli mein kya hue
musa bhi koh-e-tur ke asrar tak chale

ramz-e-khuda ki ramz bhari raushni miyan
main chahta to hun mere kirdar tak chale

kuchh rabt husn-e-yar ki taza-gari se ho
aankhon se ho ke silsila izhaar tak chale

karbal ki khak se jo meri khak ja mile
phir khak meri markaz-e-anwar tak chale

yaadon se bach nikalne ka rasta nahin mila
masjid se le ke husn ke bazar tak chale
