ye kaun sa maqam hai ai josh-e-be-KHudi
rasta bata raha hun har ek rahnuma ko main
donon hi kaamyab hue hain talash main
zat-e-KHuda mili mujhe zat-e-KHuda ko main
miTTi uTha ke dekhta hun rah-e-shauq ki
bhula nahin hun josh-e-talab mein fana ko main
hasti fana hui to haqiqat ye khul gai
main KHud baqa hun kis liye DhunDun baqa ko main
kyunkar main is ko dushman-e-hasti qarar dun
pata hun muddaa ka zariya qaza ko main
kyun us ki justuju ka ho sauda mujhe 'ratan'
mujh se agar juda ho to DhunDun KHuda ko main
Ghazal
Ye kaun sa maqam hai ai josh-e-be-KHudi
