sukhan-war hun sukhan-fahmi ki lazzat bant deta hun
main apne sher ko khushbu ki surat bant deta hun

faqat apne liye kuchh bhi kabhi rakkha nahin main ne
main auron ke liye apni zarurat bant deta hun

unhen majbur kar deti hai khud se pyar karne mein
main logon ke dilon mein mohabbat bant deta hun

faqat do-bol hi chahat ke duniya ki zarurat hain
main logon ke dilon mein ye masarrat bant deta hun

bahut mumkin hai ye bhi ek din nazuk-badan nikle
main patthar ko bhi shishe ki nazakat bant deta hun

mohabbat nam hai dushman ko bhi dil se lagane ka
main apne pyar se duniya mein hairat bant deta hun

yahi aadat to hai 'sadi' sukun-e-qalb ka bais
main nafrat bhul jata hun mohabbat bant deta hun
