maddah hun main dil se mohammad ki aal ka
mushtaq hun wasi-e-nabi ke jamal ka

khwahan guhar ka hun na main talib hun lal ka
mushtaq hun tumhaare dahan ke ugal ka

dekho to ek ja pe thaharti nahin nazar
lapka pada hai aankh ko kya dekh-bhaal ka

kya un se faiz pahunche jo khud tira-bakht hain
khilte na dekha hum ne kabhi phul dhaal ka

hum hain faqir daulat-e-duniya se kaam kya
behtar hai jam-e-jam se piyala sifal ka

dana dikha ke dam mein anqa ko launga
mazmun likh raha hun tere khat-o-khal ka

sau jaan se fida hun mohammad ke nam par
jis ne bataya farq haram o halal ka

wo aankh bhi utha ke hamein dekhte nahin
rutba pahunch gaya hai ye ranj-o-malal ka

kis zindagi ke waste daulat ki aarzu
dekho natija ghaur se qarun ke mal ka

iqbaal gar nahin hai tu inkar kijiye
kuchh dijiye jawab hamare sawal ka

mutthi ko khol kar yad-e-baiza dikhate hain
nakhun pe un ke hota hai dhoka hilal ka

shaer ghazab ke hote hain hargiz na chukte
mauqa nahin dahan mein tere qil-o-qal ka

ai rashk-e-mehr wasl mein ghussa hai kis liye
ye waqt meri jaan nahin hai jalal ka

tariki-e-lahad se kuchh 'agha' na khauf kar
daman hai tere hath mein zahra ke lal ka
