ranj-o-huzn-o-malal na sain
koi mera kamal na sain
ik tire baad ho mire dil men
aur koi khayal na sain
bakht men hai tiri nazar to phir
bakht men ho zaval na sain
badshaha tiri hai sardari
main karungi saval na sain
hai yaqin aap laut aenge
kab raha ehtimal na sain
ab ‘rabab’ adat-e-aziyyat hai
main rahun aur nidhal na sain
