qaid karna hai sayyaad kar shauq se shaKH-e-gul par mera aashiyan chhoD de

qaid karna hai sayyaad kar shauq se shakh-e-gul par mera aashiyan chhod de
ek tadapte hue dil ki aawaz hai meri mehnat na kar raegan chhod de
nakhuda dekh kar ye tariq-e-jafa kahiye insaf se dil pe guzregi kya
la ke koi safina agar aap ka 'ain tufan mein ai mehrban chhod de


ai shab-e-gham tu waqt-e-sahar chal to di hai jo teri khushi wo hamari khushi
roz-e-raushan mein bhi dil bahalta rahe koi aisa ek apna nishan chhod de
phunkna hai agar phunk de gulsitan puchhti hai 'abas wajh-e-ah-o-fughan
mera sarmaya-e-zindagi hain yahi chaar tinke hi barq-e-tapan chhod de


har qadam par mile hain fareb-e-hasin hai gawara bahar-haal shikwa nahin
phir ye mumkin hai kaise bata naseha mera dil manzil-e-imtihan chhod de
sahn-e-gulshan mein ho lakh jaur-o-jafa har qadam par saza bhi mile be-khata
phir bhi mumkin nahin bulbul-e-khush-nawa apna makhsus rang-e-bayan chhod de


chahta hun ki 'ishrat' junun-e-wafa har qadam par rahe mera mushkil-kusha
marhale 'ishq ke sakht dushwar hain kya khabar sath hasti kahan chhod de
