abas kyun umr sone mein ganwaya
jo koi jaga so apne piw ko paya

musafir rah par sona bhala nahin
jo koi soya wahi hasrat lajaya

jatan hoshyar le ja mal aur dhan
jahan mein aa ke tu jo kuchh kamaya

agar koi so rahe rah mein khatar ke
ganwaya mal apne ko khapaya

'alimullah' sota tha khwab mein mast
karim apna karam kar kar jagaya
