khali baithe kyun din katen aao re ji ek kaam karen
wo to hain raja hum banen parja aur jhuk jhuk ke salam karen

khul padne mein nakaami hai gum ho kar kuchh kaam karen
des purana bhes bana ho nam badal kar nam karen

donon jahan mein khidmat teri khadim ko makhdum banae
pariyan jis ke panw dabaen huren jis ka kaam karen

hijr ka sannata kho degi gahma-gahmi nalon ki
raat akele kyunkar katen sab ki nind haram karen

mere bura kahlane se to achchhe ban nahin sakte aap
baithe-baithae ye kya sujhi aao use badnam karen

dil ki khushi paband na nikli rasm-o-riwaj-e-alam ki
phulon par to chain na aae kanton par aaram karen

aise hi kaam kiya karti hai gardish un ki aankhon ki
sham ko chahe subh bana den subh ko chahe sham karen

la-mahdud faza mein phir kar had koi kya dalega
pukhta-kar-e-junun hum bhi hain kyun ye khayal-e-kham karen

nam-e-wafa se chidh un ko aur 'arzu' is khu se majbur
kyunkar aakhir dil bahlaen kis wahshi ko ram karen
