sula kar tez dhaaron ko kinaro tum na so jaana
rawani zindagani hai to dhaaro tum na so jaana

mujhe tum ko sunani hai mukammal dastan apni
adhuri dastan sun kar sitaro tum na so jaana

tumhaare daere mein zindagi mahfuz rahti hai
nizam-e-bazm-e-hasti ke hisaro tum na so jaana

tumhin se jagta hai dil mein ehsas-e-rawa-dari
qayam-e-rabt-e-baham ke sahaaro tum na so jaana

agar nind aa gai tum ko to chashme sukh jaenge
kabhi ghaflat mein pad kar kohsaro tum na so jaana

tumhin se bahr-e-hasti mein rawan hai kashti-e-hasti
agar sahil bhi so jaen to dhaaro tum na so jaana

sada-e-dard ki khatir tumhein 'kausar' ne chheda hai
shikasta-saz ke bedar taro tum na so jaana
