gul-e-sahar ki na gesu-e-sham ki khushbu
faza faza mein hai tere kalam ki khushbu

chaman se kunj-e-qafas tak qafas se dar talak
kahan kahan na gai tere nam ki khushbu

mataa-e-dast-e-saba ho ki naqsh-e-faryaadi
har ek zakhm mein dard-e-awam ki khushbu

khanak gai hai jahan tere panw ki zanjir
bikhar gai hai wahan ehtiram ki khushbu

dil-o-dimagh ko sarshaar kar gai 'maikash'
ghazal ke phul se nikli wo jam ki khushbu
