sar pe dastar rakhe hath mein kasa rakkhe
kaun ab jaan pe apni ye tamasha rakkhe

koi dariya na bujha paya meri tishna-labi
ab koi lae mere honton pe sahra rakkhe

is ko thukra dun agar sar pe bitha legi mujhe
main jo phirta hun abhi sar pe ye duniya rakhe

ek muddat se nahin dekha hai chehra un ka
ek muddat se hai aankhen meri roza rakhe

is se kam par kabhi raazi nahin hote mashuq
ishq jo dil mein rakhe sar ka bhi sauda rakkhe

bewafa se bhi nibhae koi kab tak 'danish'
sabr bhi rakkhe to aakhir koi kitna rakkhe
