qadam qadam pe tamanna-e-iltifat to dekh
zawal-e-ishq mein saudagaron ka hat to dekh

bas ek hum the jo thoda sa sar utha ke chale
isi rawish pe raqibon ke waqiat to dekh

gham-e-hayat mein hazir hun lekin ek zara
nigar-e-shahr se mere talluqat to dekh

khud apni aanch mein jalta hai chandni ka badan
kisi ke narm khunuk gesuon ki raat to dekh

ata kya dil-e-muztar to si diye mere hont
khuda-e-kaun-o-makan ke tawahhumat to dekh

gunah mein bhi bade marifat ke mauqe hain
kabhi kabhi use be-khadsha-e-najat to dekh
