ab ahl-e-dil hain ki nayab hote jaate hain
ghubar-e-khatir-e-ahbab hote jaate hain
tumhare aane se kuchh iztirab kam hota
ye kya ki aur bhi betab hote jaate hain
sukun-maab samajhte the jin kinaron ko
simat ke halqa-e-girdab hote jaate hain
hamen bhi raat ko din kahna aata jaata hai
ki ham bhi hamil-e-adab hote jaate hain
hamen mile na mile zindagi magar ‘nikhat’
suna hai ziist ke asbab hote jaate hain
