Koi shikva to zer-e-lab hoga
kuch KhamoshI ka bhi sabab hoga
mai bhi huun bazm mein raqib bhi hai
Akhiri faisla to ab hoga
aaien mai-Khane mein kabhi vaaiz
huur bhi hogi aur sab hoga
bol aai mere dil ki tareeki
tera suraj toluu kab hoga
sunta hoga sadaaien us dil ki
sham-e-tanhaai mein vo jab hoga
kab chhatengi ye badliyaan ġham ki
saaf matlaa ye 'JOSH' kab hoga
