adhura apni hi zindagi ka hisab thahra
jo chahe padh le hamara chehra kitab thahra

suna tha kanon se jo bhi us ne wo sab haqiqat
hamari aankhon ne jo bhi dekha wo khwab thahra

ikattha zar kar liya hai us ne bhi apne ghar mein
razil jitna tha utna izzat-maab thahra

suna hai main ne wo shakhs bhi ban gaya hai achchha
milunga kaise ki main to aakhir kharab thahra

gharib har koi nachta hai unhin ki dhun par
ye dast-e-ahl-e-arab mein kaisa rabab thahra

kiya hai ehsan maut ne di najat mujh ko
shikayaton ka bhi khatm 'saifi' lo bab thahra
