zamin ki god mein baitha humak raha hun main
falak pe chand ki jaanib lapak raha hun main

nahin hai apni zamin ki koi khabar lekin
khala mein dur kisi shai ko tak raha hun main

naha gaya hun khud apne lahu mein sar-ta-pa
junun ki aag mein lekin dahak raha hun main

agarche zulmat-e-shab mein kami nahin aai
misal-e-mah-e-darakhshan chamak raha hun main

har ek samt badalti ruton ka matam hai
shagufta ghunche ki surat chatak raha hun main

parakhne wale mujhe dekh is tarah bhi zara
agar hai khot to kaise chamak raha hun main

giri hi jati hai diwar-e-girya har lahza
kisi ki aankh se shayad dhalak raha hun main

tamam shahr ne didar kar liya 'kausar'
ab apni lash ke chehre ko dhak raha hun main
