yahi hai ishq ki sar do magar duhai na do
wafur-e-jazb se tutu magar sunai na do

zamin se ek talluq hai na-guzir magar
jo ho sake to ise rang-e-ashnai na do

ye daur wo hai ki baithe raho charagh-tale
sabhi ko bazm mein dekho magar dikhai na do

shahanshahi bhi jo dil ke ewaz mile to na lo
faraaz-e-koh ke badle bhi ye tarai na do

jawab-e-tohmat-e-ahl-e-zamana mein 'khurshid'
yahi bahut hai ki lab si rakho safai na do
