har tamashai faqat sahil se manzar dekhta kaun dariya ko ulatta kaun gauhar dekhta vo to duniya ko miri divangi

har koi turra-e-pechak pahan kar nikla ek main pairahan-e-khak pahan kar nikla aur phir sab ne ye dekha ki isi

har koi dil ki hatheli pe hai sahra rakkhe kis ko sairab kare vo kise pyasa rakkhe umr bhar kaun

har ek baat na kyuun zahr si hamari lage ki ham ko dast-e-zamana se zakhm kaari lage udasiyan hon musalsal

har ashna men kahan khu-e-mehrmana vo ki bevafa tha magar dost tha purana vo pukarte hain mah-o-sal manzilon ki tarah

ham to yuun khush the ki ik taar gareban men hai kya khabar thi ki bahar is ke bhi arman

ham to khush the ki chalo dil ka junun kuchh kam hai ab jo aram bahut hai to sukun kuchh

ham bhi shair the kabhi jan-e-sukhan yaad nahin tujh ko bhule hain to dil-dari-e-fan yaad nahin dil se kal mahv-e-takallum

ghurur-e-jan ko mire yaar bech dete hain qaba ki hirs men dastar bech dete hain ye log kya hain ki

guman yahi hai ki dil khud udhar ko jaata hai so shak ka faeda us ki nazar ko jaata hai
