hum se bhi gahe gahe mulaqat chahiye
insan hain sabhi to musawat chahiye

achchha chalo khuda na sahi un ko kya hua
aakhir koi to qazi-e-hajat chahiye

hai aaqibat kharab to duniya hi thik ho
koi to surat-e-guzar-auqat chahiye

jaane palak jhapakne mein kya gul khilae waqt
har dam nazar ba-surat-e-haalat chahiye

aaegi hum ko ras na yak-rangi-e-khala
ahl-e-zamin hain hum hamein din raat chahiye

wa kar diye hain ilm ne dariya-e-marifat
andhon ko ab bhi kashf o karamat chahiye

jab qais ki kahani ab anjum ki dastan
duniya ko dil lagi ke liye baat chahiye
