baat tumhaari aaj tak koi hui hai kab ghalat
tum jo kaho wo sab baja hum jo kahen wo sab ghalat

aap ka wada kal bhi tha aaj hai wada dusra
qaul-o-qarar aap ka jab na ghalat na ab ghalat

dil mein thi maujzan khushi shauq fuzun tha har ghadi
din mein jo kuchh umid thi ho gai waqt-e-shab ghalat

kyun na gaya payambar ghair ke pas bhul kar
aisi sunai aa ke baat ho gai sab tarab ghalat

ghair kahe wo sab durust aap kahen wo sab baja
baat hamari haq bhi ho hoti hai be-sabab ghalat

ghair ka dawa-e-wafa kizb ki intiha nahin
aa ke sunai dastan ek sire se sab ghalat

'hafiz'-e-haq-pasand ki baat ki qadr thi kabhi
harf-e-ghalat ki tarah kyun ho gaya khud wo ab ghalat
