aastan-e-haram pe la dala
kaam kar hi gai buton se yas

hum ne paya hai pariyon ko hairan
hum ne dekha hai gulshanon ko udas

apne mahaul par asar-andaz
kyon na mard-e-niko ki ho bu-bas

daur-e-nau rahbar nae dhundhe
khizr hai kaam ka na aaj ilyas

chaar-diwari ek neamat-e-jaan
apna ghar apne waste ruhtas

taza pani gharib ko hai sharab
jam-e-jam se nahin kam us ko tas

is imarat ne umr pai tawil
rast buniyaad thi jo sidq-ehsas

kha gai mujh ko teri bhuki nigah
zal-e-duniya tera ho satyanas
