sag-e-laila ke naqsh-e-pa hain hum
yani majnun ke rahnuma hain hum

kyun na ho dushmanon ke ghar matam
dost ke kushta-e-jafa hain hum

tum ko dil ki bhi hai kasu ke khabar
dil mein khush ho ki dil-ruba hain hum

jis qadar hum ko samjhiye be-qadr
qadr mein us se bhi siwa hain hum

kyun na mitti kharab ho apni
is kharabaat ki bina hain hum

kis se rakhiye ghubar ai 'maruf'
ek aalam ki khak-e-pa hain hum
