titli se dosti na gulabon ka shauq hai
meri tarah use bhi kitabon ka shauq hai

warna to nind se bhi nahin koi khas rabt
aankhon ko sirf aap ke khwabon ka shauq hai

hum aashiq-e-ghazal hain to maghrur kyon na hon
aakhir ye shauq bhi to nawabon ka shauq hai

us shakhs ke fareb se waqif hain hum magar
kuchh apni pyas ko hi sarabon ka shauq hai

girne do khud sambhalne do aise hi chalne do
ye to 'charagh' khana-kharabon ka shauq hai
