dukhe hue hain hamen aur ab dukhao mat
jo ho gae ho fasana to yaad aao mat
khayal-o-khvab men parchhaiyan si nachti hain
ab is tarah to miri ruuh men samao mat
zamin ke log to kya do dilon ki chahat men
khuda bhi ho to use darmiyan laao mat
tumhara sar nahin tiflan-e-rah-guzar ke liye
dayar-e-sang men ghar se nikal ke jaao mat
sivae apne kisi ke bhi ho nahin sakte
ham aur log hain logo hamen satao mat
hamare ahd men ye rasm-e-ashiqi thahri
faqir ban ke raho aur sada lagao mat
vahi likho jo lahu ki zaban se milta hai
sukhan ko parda-e-alfaz men chhupao mat
supurd kar hi diya atish-e-hunar ke to phir
tamam khaak hi ho jaao kuchh bachao mat
