shab-e-hijran ko bhagane ki dua kaunsi hai
nahin talti kisi surat ye bala kaunsi hai

zahr dene mein jhijak kyon hai tujhe chaaragar
dusri aur mere dukh ki dawa kaunsi hai

dil hi dil mein jo hansa karte ho chupke chupke
baat main bhi to sunun aisi bhala kaunsi hai

meri aankhon mein hai saqi ki jawani ka nasha
mujh se puchho ki mai-e-hosh-ruba kaunsi hai

main saza-war-e-mohabbat hun mita de mujh ko
kuchh khata teri bhi nikle to saza kaunsi hai

aaj-kal mujh se khafa rahte hain ghairon se khush
mere bare mein khuda jaane hawa kaunsi hai

'khizr' ne rah bata di mujhe but-khane ki
puchha tha manzil-e-irfan-e-khuda kaunsi hai
