ruthoge be-sabab to manaya na jaega
beja tumhara naaz uthaya na jaega
vo saath laaen ghair ko gar bazm men to kya
ankhon pe minnaton se bithaya na jaega
yuun mere saath bazm men ghairon ka baithna
vo e’tiraz hai ki uthaya na jaega
hoga asar jo dil men to khud jaan lenge vo
‘mushtaq’ ham se ishq jataya na jaega
