Itr kii uud kii ambar kii saman kii Khushbuu
sab se bahatar hai magar us ke badan kii Khushbuu

koii mausam ho havaa leke chalii aatii hai
duur pardes men bhii Khaak-e-vatan kii Khushbuu

chand lamhaat men kar detii hai subahen raushan
naat ki hamd ki puujaa ki bhajan kii Khushbuu

ab to rah rahke jalii laashon kii buu aatii hai
pahale aisii to na thii mere chaman kii Khushbuu

is ke har lafz men sau phuulon kii shaamil hai mahak
shaayarii apanii hai urduu ke dahan kii Khushbuu

jab kabhii gor-e-Ghariibaan se guzar meraa huaa
mujh ko mahasuus huii apane kafan kii Khushbuu

chaandanii raat fizaa sard havaa ke jhonke
haaye vo Toote jismon kii thakan kii Khushbuu

us ne jab merii taraf Gaur se dekhaa "Manzoor"
bazmr men phailii raqiibaanaa jalan kii Khushbuu
