hum to hon dil se dur rahen pas aur log
sunghen gul-e-ezar ki bu-bas aur log

waiz hamein dara na wafur-e-gunah se
us ke karam se hote hain be-as aur log

sauda-e-ishq yan to hai sar mein bhara hua
nam-e-junun se karte hain wiswas aur log

aazad-gan-e-ishq har ek haal mein hain shad
honge asir-o-ranj-o-gham-o-yas aur log

hain ser boriya-e-tawakkul ke faqa-mast
hote hain muztarib dam-e-iflas aur log

yan hai faqat hawas dur-e-dandan ke did ki
khate hain us ke danton pe almas aur log

sanjog ek apna tumhaara azal se hai
puchhen brahmanon se buto ras aur log

utthe fana o ek na ek kya baid hai
ab baithne lage hain tere pas aur log

us aab-e-lal par kabhi hum bhi muhit the
lab chus kar bujhae hain ab pyas aur log

hum to na ghar mein aap ke dam-bhar thaharne paen
roz aaen jaen surat-e-anfas aur log

apne nasib mein to na ho aab-e-khizr-e-lab
sairab hon ba-surat-e-ilyas aur log

diwan mein mere nahin bharti ke aise sher
bharte hain jaise safha-e-qirtas aur log

wo bewafa karega meri qadr kya 'qalaq'
karte hain apne aashiqon ka pas aur log
