rah-e-talab mein kaun kisi ka apne bhi begane hain

yunhi wabastagi nahin hoti

aaj ki raat kaTegi kyun kar saz na jam na to mehman

lab-o-ruKHsar o jabin se miliye

kuchh to talluq kuchh to lagao

kisi ki sada

husn bana jab bahti ganga

zamin ki kokh hi zaKHmi nahin andheron se

dekh kar mera dasht-e-tanhai

likhne ko likh rahe hain ghazab ki kahaniyan

din ke bhule ko raat Dasti hai
