be-sabab kyun tabah hota hai
fikr-e-farda gunah hota hai

tujh ko kya dusron ke aibon se
kyun abas ru-siyah hota hai

mujh ko tanha na chhod kar jao
ye khala be-panah hota hai

zak usi se bahut pahunchti hai
jo mera khair-khwah hota hai

us ghadi us se mang lo sab kuchh
jab 'adam' baadshah hota hai
