vo mirī ḳhāk-navāzī ko bhalā kyā samjhe
ḳhaak ho kar bhī na jo ḳhaak kā rutba samjhe
lazzat-e-dard pe likkhe haiñ bahut ne mazmūn
dard ho jis ko vahī dard kā honā honā samjhe
muttafiq vo mire jazbāt se kaise hogā
jo tilismāt-e-shab-o-shab ko duniyā rakhe
apne atrāf kā kuchh ilm nahīñ hai us ko
kaisā dariyā hai jo kashtī na kināra samjhe
maiñ jo khul jā.ūñ to khul jaa.e rumūz-e-hastī
itnā āsān nahīñ mujh ko samajhnā samjhe
ek jugnū kī chamak kaisī hai 'mushtāq' ahmad
nuur mahrūm koī raat kā maarā samjhe
wo meri KHak-nawazi ko bhala kya samjhe
KHak ho kar bhi na jo KHak ka rutba samjhe
lazzat-e-dard pe likkhe hain bahut ne mazmun
dard ho jis ko wahi dard ka hona hona samjhe
muttafiq wo mere jazbaat se kaise hoga
jo tilismat-e-shab-o-shab ko duniya rakhe
apne atraf ka kuchh ilm nahin hai us ko
kaisa dariya hai jo kashti na kinara samjhe
main jo khul jaun to khul jae rumuz-e-hasti
itna aasan nahin mujh ko samajhna samjhe
ek jugnu ki chamak kaisi hai 'mushtaq' ahmad
nur mahrum koi raat ka mara samjhe
