dilon mein bughz ke khane na hote
to apne log begane na hote

wafa ko dhundti phirti ye duniya
agar hum jaise diwane na hote

na hum ko gham agar aata mayassar
to lutf-e-zindagi jaane na hote

kahan tha hum se rindon ka thikana
agar basti mein mai-khane na hote

na lutte hum agar yaro lutere
hamare jaane-pahchane na hote

kahan hum bojh dil ka karte halka
jo rone ko tere shane na hote

zaban-e-haal par achchha tha 'gauhar'
agar mazi ke afsane na hote
