chhodiye kis tarah se mai-noshi
zor-e-alam rakhe hai be-hoshi
ik nazar us ko dekhne paaen
go mayassar na ho ham-aghoshi
qaid karna kisi ko hai manzur
zulf karti hai tujh se sargoshi
huun main sar-gashta misl-e-reg-e-ravan
kya kahun apni khana-bardoshi
vasf men us dahan ke ai ‘joshish’
ham ne ki ikhtiyar khamoshi
