bada be-dad-gar wo mah-jabin hai
magar itna nahin jitna hasin hai

tabassum-pashiyan aghyar par hain
hamare waste chin-e-jabin hai

jahan mein amn ho kyun-kar ki har su
bapa jang-e-baqa-e-behtarin hai

nahin ka lafz hai kuchh talkh warna
tumhaari han ka matlab bhi nahin hai

tere mehman wo aaen ai 'wafa' kya
are tera thikana bhi kahin hai
