aate hain kitne khwab tere roz-o-shab mujhe
wahshat si hone lagti hai koi ajab mujhe

tum ko main gar qubul hun aise hi thik hun
aata nahin sanwarne ka koi bhi dhab mujhe

zalim hai baadshah ki hai sab pe furaat band
mahsus ho rahe hain sabhi sukhe lab mujhe

bas kuchh dinon ki baat hai main laut aaungi
hargiz sada na de koi pichhe se ab mujhe

ye dekhna hai kaun mera is jahan mein
yaqub ki to aankhen ata kar ai rab mujhe

wo shakhs jab ki ab to meri dastaras mein hai
karni nahin hai aur kisi ki talab mujhe

bandi ki tarah qaid hun us ke huzur main
wo baadshah hai aur milega hi kab mujhe
