ye jo har lamha meri sans hai aati jati
ek tufan hai sine mein uthati jati

maujen uth uth ke tah-e-ab chali jati hain
han magar kis ki hai taswir banati jati

ye shajar jis ke sabab raqs hai karta rahta
kash wo baad-e-saba dil ko nachati jati

bas wahi qimti ek shai jo mera hasil thi
har ghadi pas hi rahti na yun aati jati

kam se kam sang-e-sar-e-rah to hota 'kausar'
aur duniya mujhe thokar bhi lagati jati
