ada-e-hairat-e-aina-gar bhi rakhte hain
hamein na chhed ki ab tak nazar bhi rakhte hain

na gird-o-pesh se is darja be-niyaz guzar
jo be-khabar se hain sab ki khabar bhi rakhte hain

kahan gaya teri mahfil mein zom-e-dida-waran
ye hausla to yahan kam-nazar bhi rakhte hain

qafas ko khol magar itna soch le sayyaad
bahut asir tere baal-o-par bhi rakhte hain

farishta hai to taqaddus tujhe mubarak ho
hum aadmi hain to aib-o-hunar bhi rakhte hain

khusha-nasib ki diwane hain to hum ai 'dil'
kamal-e-nisbat-e-diwana-gar bhi rakhte hain
