wo tujh ko tod ke misl-e-habab kar dega
tera ghurur tujhe aab aab kar dega

thahar sakegi kahan shabnami guhar ki chamak
bas ek nazar mein fana aaftab kar dega

kabhi to phailegi bagh-e-hayat mein khushbu
gulab khil ke faza ko gulab kar dega

rukh-e-fareb pe thahregi kya naqab-e-fareb
tera fareb tujhe be-naqab kar dega

na ras aaegi tabir-e-khwab-e-mustaqbil
ye waqt khwab ke manzar ko khwab kar dega

dikha ke chehra-e-mazi ke khadd-o-khal tujhe
sawal-e-daur-e-rawan la-jawab kar dega

jahan ko degi jo 'kausar' payam-e-amn-o-aman
adib-e-waqt raqam wo kitab kar dega
