tut kar bikhre hain sapne sahn mein
kis ne khinche hain ye raste sahn mein

kaun deta hai udasi ko fareb
kaun ugata hai ye chehre sahn mein

koi samjha hi nahin ek lafz bhi
gunjte hain kitne lahje sahn mein

ek shajar bhi nam ko ghar mein nahin
ud rahe hain khushk patte sahn mein

jaane kab tute tilism-e-tirgi
jaane kab utren sawere sahn mein

chhod jata hai koi aankhen yahan
khol jata hai dariche sahn mein

raat phir 'ausaf' yaad aaya koi
raat jaise phul mahke sahn mein
