aaj bhi tere liye sozish-e-gham kam to nahin
zakhm-e-dil par tere hamdam koi marham to nahin

tu jo phulon ki tarah phul kar itraata hai
dekhna yar tere jam mein shabnam to nahin

hind ki ye shab-e-mahtab bahut khub sahi
qalb-e-anjum ka magar dard abhi kam to nahin

chandni-raat ke wade bhi wafa hote hain
ai gham-e-dil ye sabab laeq-e-matam to nahin

tishna-kaami mujhe majbur to karti hai magar
tere saghar se jhijakta hun kahin hum to nahin

tu ne aasudagi-e-shauq se khaya hai fareb
qalb-e-shair mein jo dhadkan hai wo maddham to nahin

aaj 'masud' ki palkon pe diye hain raushan
sathiyo un ke sitaron se magar kam to nahin
