apni azmat ko wo mitti mein mila dete hain
kar ke ehsan jo ehsan jata dete hain

dil mein yaadon ke charaghon ko farozan kar ke
hum shab-e-gham ke andheron ko saza dete hain

jaante hain rag-e-har-gul mein lahu hai mera
phir bhi sawan mein mujhe log bhula dete hain

kya yaqin aae ki shak bhi nahin hota un par
is saliqe se kai log dagha dete hain

hum to hans hans ke chhupate hain har ek gham ko 'shakil'
baz gham hain jo hansi mein bhi rula dete hain
