ek be-nam sa dar sine mein aa baitha hai
jaise ek bhediya har dar se laga baitha hai

ek dhadka sa laga rahta hai lut jaane ka
goya pahre pe koi khwaja-sara baitha hai

hurmaten sanat-e-ahan ki tarah bikti hain
jis ko dekho wo kharidar bana baitha hai

aur kya rab se wo mangenge fazilat jin ke
zehn kore hain magar sar pe huma baitha hai

ab 'hasan' milta hai bazar-e-ziyan mein aksar
aisa lagta hai koi khwab ganwa baitha hai
