sari duniya hai ek parda-e-raaz
uf re tere hijab ke andaz

maut ko ahl-e-dil samajhte hain
zindagani-e-ishq ka aaghaz

mar ke paya shahid ka rutba
meri is zindagi ki umr daraaz

koi aaya teri jhalak dekhi
koi bola suni teri aawaz

hum se kya puchhte ho hum kya hain
ek bayaban mein gum-shuda aawaz

tere anwar se labaalab hai
dil ka sab se amiq gosha-e-raaz

aa rahi hai sada-e-hatif-e-ghaib
'josh' hamta-e-hafiz-e-shiraaz
