ai ahl-e-wafa dad-e-jafa kyun nahin dete
soe hue zakhmon ko jaga kyun nahin dete

is jashn-e-charaghan se to behtar the andhere
in jhute charaghon ko bujha kyun nahin dete

jis mein na koi rang na aahang na khushbu
tum aise gulistan ko jala kyun nahin dete

diwar ka ye uzr suna jaega kab tak
diwar agar hai to gira kyun nahin dete

chehron pe jo dale hue baithe hain naqaben
un logon ko mahfil se utha kyun nahin dete

tauba ka yahi waqt hai kya soch rahe ho
sajde mein jabinon ko jhuka kyun nahin dete

ye jhute khuda mil ke dubo denge safina
tum hadi-e-bar-haq ko sada kyun nahin dete
