ye dadhiyan ye tilak dhaariyan nahin chaltin
hamare ahd mein makkariyan nahin chaltin

qabile walon ke dil jodiye mere sardar
saron ko kat ke sardariyan nahin chaltin

bura na man agar yar kuchh bura kah de
dilon ke khel mein khuddariyan nahin chaltin

chhalak chhalak padin aankhon ki gagaren aksar
sambhal sambhal ke ye panhaariyan nahin chaltin

janab-e-'kaif' ye dilli hai 'mir' o 'ghaalib' ki
yahan kisi ki taraf-dariyan nahin chaltin
