dil ke virane ko yun aabaad kar lete hain hum
kar bhi kya sakte hain tujh ko yaad kar lete hain hum

jab buzurgon ki duaen ho gain be-kar sab
qarz-e-khwab-awar se dil ko shad kar lete hain hum

talkhi-e-kaam-o-dahan ki aabyari ke liye
dawat-e-shiraaz-e-abr-o-baad kar lete hain hum

dekh kar dhabbe lahu ke dast-e-adam-zad par
tari apne zehn par ilhad kar lete hain hum

kaun sunta hai bhikari ki sadaen is liye
kuchh zarifana latife yaad kar lete hain hum

jab purana lahja kho deta hai apni tazgi
ek nai tarz-e-nawa ijad kar lete hain hum

dekh kar ahl-e-qalam ko kushta-e-asudgi
khud ko 'wamiq' farz ek naqqad kar lete hain hum
