bara-e-nam-o-nasab go nahin hunar mera
bana hua hai magar marhala safar mera

mere rafiq main muddat ka lut gaya hota
khuda ka shukr ki khali pada tha ghar mera

main un se shikwa karun bhi to kis tarah aakhir
ki ab to un pe bhi hota nahin asar mera

hawa ne zor to apna laga liya lekin
bujha na pai charagh-e-fan-o-hunar mera

main un ke nam ki nisbat se jaana jata hun
yahi to ek hawala hai mo'atabar mera

wo jis ko kahti hai 'iqrar-mustafa’ duniya
wahi hun main ye taaruf hai mukhtasar mera
