abhi kam-sin hain malumat kitni
wo kitne aur un ki baat kitni

ye mere waste hai baat kitni
wo kahte hain teri auqat kitni

sahar tak haal kya hoga hamara
khuda jaane abhi hai raat kitni

ye sar hai ye kaleja hai ye dil hai
wo lenge khair se saughat kitni

tawajjoh se kabhi sun lo meri baat
jo tum chaho to ye hai baat kitni

tabiat kyun na apni muzmahil ho
rahi ye morid-e-afat kitni

gulistan fasl-e-gul mein lut raha hai
hina aai tumhaare hat kitni

hamare dil na dene par khafa ho
lutate ho tumhin khairaat kitni

karo shukr-e-sitam un ke sitam par
ki itni baat bhi hai baat kitni

jafa-o-qahr se waqif na tha main
badhi ulfat mein malumat kitni

jafa wale hisab is ka laga len
wafa karta hun main din raat kitni

ibaadat hazrat-e-zahid karun main
magar ai qibla-e-hajat kitni

nahin rukte hamare ashk ai 'nuh'
ye tufan-khez hai barsat kitni
