tut kar bikhre na suraj bhi hai mujh ko dar bahut
habs andar se ziyaada aaj hai bahar bahut

mujh ko bhi aata hai fan sahib-nawazi ka magar
kya karun meri ana mujh se bhi hai khud-sar bahut

gham-zada karti hai mujh ko bas darun-bini meri
yun to main bhi dekhta hun khushnuma manzar bahut

apni aankhen ghar pe rakh kar bhi tamashai hain log
aur un ki is ada par khush hain bazigar bahut

ab tarasha hi nahin jata kabhi paikar koi
aaj bhi aazar bahut hain aaj bhi patthar bahut

main kisi ki be-ghari ka kis liye matam karun
zindagi khud aaj lagti hai mujhe be-ghar bahut

gul-parasti par na kar israr ai 'manzur' tu
dekh har ek mod par hain shahr mein patthar bahut
