baada-kashi hamara baDa kaam kar gai

bāda-kashī hamārā baḌā kaam kar ga.ī

tasvīr-e-yār shīsha-e-dil meñ utar ga.ī

zāhid ulajh ke rah gayā som-o-salāt meñ

apnī nigāh kaun-o-makāñ se guzar ga.ī

dil meñ kisī hasīn ke jalve samā ga.e

apnī nazar se saarī ḳhudā.ī utar ga.ī

manzil pe aake dekhā to ma.alūm ye huā

apnī hī justujū meñ ḳhudā.ī guzar ga.ī

'kāvish' kisī ke ishq kī dīvāngī hameñ

ranj-o-kHushī-o-kHauf se begāna kar ga.ī

baada-kashi hamara baDa kaam kar gai

taswir-e-yar shisha-e-dil mein utar gai

zahid ulajh ke rah gaya som-o-salat mein

apni nigah kaun-o-makan se guzar gai

dil mein kisi hasīn ke jalwe sama gae

apni nazar se sari KHudai utar gai

manzil pe aake dekha to malum ye hua

apni hi justuju mein KHudai guzar gai

'kawish' kisi ke ishq ki diwangi hamein

ranj-o-kHushi-o-kHauf se begana kar gai
