ab un pe meri aah ka hoga asar kahan
kya haal hai mera unhen is ki khabar kahan

ab un ke dil mein hum se faqiron ka ghar kahan
bas dekhiye ke phirte hain hum dar-ba-dar kahan

ek mushkilon ki dhup se mera hai samna
aasaniyon ka rah mein koi shajar kahan

muddat hui ke id mayassar nahin hamein
aaya hai chand hum ko hamara nazar kahan

bas ai tabib nuskha-e-didar likh mujhe
in marhamon se bharta hai zakhm-e-jigar kahan

har aan nafraton ka hai pahra gali gali
ab hum karen talash mohabbat-nagar kahan

har mod par hai ek musibat se samna
ab jaane khatm hoga mera ye safar kahan

tarik ho chuki yahan 'haidar' ki zindagi
us ko nasib ishq ke shams-o-qamar kahan
