aql ke dushman bhi hum thahre dil ka bhi nuqsan kiya
zauq-e-talab ki aad mein 'hairat' nafs ne kya hairan kiya

khalq kiya hoga aadam ko waqai hazrat-e-yazdan ne
lekin us ka nam batao jis ne use insan kiya

ram the maryaada purushottam ram ki baaten rahne do
aur batao is duniya mein kis ne kis ka man kiya

hum kuchh bhi to nahin the lekin aapa yar buri shai hai
pahron apni yaad mein roe jab bhi tera dhyan kiya

ab ye takalluf bhi duniya mein log kahan farmate hain
tu ne puchha haal hamara yar bada ehsan kiya

dil to isi khatir hota hai kya ye tumhein malum na tha
'hairat' kyon barbaadi-e-dil par ji itna halkan kiya
