qadam qadam pe hamein rang-o-bu ka dhoka hai
khizan-nasib rafiqo ye daur kaisa hai

jo tu kahe use chhu kar zara yaqin kar lun
teri jabin pe mujhe chandni ka dhoka hai

meri nigah ne bakhshi hai husn ko raunaq
nasim-e-subh se phulon ka rang bikhra hai

bina-e-sher hai mera mushahida 'ishrat'
mere kalam mein har dil ka dard hota hai
