Dikhaa na yunhi vasl ki rut ke khawb mujhe,
Ke maar de na kahin hijar ka azaab mujhe,
Qadam qadam mere raste mein wehshiyon ka hajoom,
Nagar nagar liye phirta hai iztraab mujhe,
Ajeeb vehm-o-gumaan aankh main utar aye,
Dikhaayi deta hai daryaa ab bhi saraab mujhe,
Tumhare hantoon pe bikhrey koi to rang-e-sadaa,
Tumhari ankhon se aaye koi jawaab mujhe,
Bohat dinon se khazaaon ki zad main hoon zahid,
Jo ho sake to kabhi bhejnaa gulaab mujhe,
