ab band jo is abr-e-guhar-bar ko lag jae
kuchh dhup hamare dar-o-diwar ko lag jae

palkon pe sajae raho ummid ke jugnu
kya jaaniye kis ki dua bimar ko lag jae

suli pe bhi is baat ki koshish hai hamari
isar hamara tere mear ko lag jae

haq-goi se meri hi pareshan hai duniya
kya ho ye waba aur jo do-chaar ko lag jae

thodi si rahe jeb-e-kharidar kushada
thoda sa gahan raunaq-e-bazar ko lag jae
