raaz-e-hasti se aashna na hua

ye zaKHm zaKHm badan aur nam fazaon mein

waqt-e-ruKHsat wo aansu bahane lage

KHuddari-e-hayat ko ruswa nahin kiya

diwana kar ke mujhko tamasha kiya bahut

sham-e-awadh ne zulf mein gundhe nahin hain phul

zara dekhen to duniya kaise kaise rang bharti hai

main kaise tai karun be-samt raston ka safar

safar ka ruKH badal kar dekhta hun

rah-e-qarar ajab rah-e-be-qarari hai
