hushyār haiñ to ham ko bahak jaanā chāhiye
be-samt rāsta hai bhaTak jaanā chāhiye
dekho kahīñ piyāle meñ koī kamī na ho
labrez ho chukā to chhalak jaanā chāhiye
harf-e-rajaz se yuuñ nahīñ hotā koī kamāl
bātin tak is sadā kī dhamak jaanā chāhiye
girtā nahīñ masāf meñ bismil kisī tarah
ab dast-e-neza-kār ko thak jaanā chāhiye
tai ho chuke sab ābla-pā.ī ke marhale
ab ye zamīñ gulāboñ se Dhak jaanā chāhiye
shāyad pas-e-ġhubār tamāshā dikhā.ī de
is rah-guzar pe duur talak jaanā chāhiye
