aap sultan hua kije gada hum bhi nahin
is qadar to gae-guzre ba-khuda hum bhi nahin

ab ana ko kare sajda to mohabbat hi kare
jabha-sa aap nahin nasiya-sa hum bhi nahin

jaiye jaiye mat dekhiye mud kar pichhe
aise shauqin-e-jafa khar-e-wafa hum bhi nahin

chaara-e-sarkashi-e-dil karen allah allah
wo khuda banda-nawaz aap to kya hum bhi nahin

dosti dushmani ab aap nibhaen to nibhaen
hum ko rabt aap se aisa koi baham bhi nahin

mehrban aap bhi hain aur bhi honge lekin
chahte to dil-e-nadan ka bura hum bhi nahin

lakh lailaen umad aaen ghazal par 'rahil'
aakhir is dasht ki aawara sada hum bhi nahin
