bhul chuka jo tujh ko ai dil yaad mein us ki kyon rota hai
duniya ka dastur yahi hai koi kisi ka kab hota hai

subh ki jaanib dekh abhi se raat ke gham mein kya rota hai
duniya ki to rasm yahi hai pata wahi hai jo khota hai

jis ko tama na mal-o-zar ki jis ko chah na lal-o-gohar ki
pair pasare ghar mein apne kitne sukh se wo sota hai

ye duniya kab mit kisi ki ye kya jaane prit kisi ki
nahaq is ke pher mein pad kar jaan ko apni tu khota hai

kyon dhunde tu mulla pandit kyon bhatke tu mandir masjid
pachhtawe ka tera aansu papon ko sare dhota hai

jis ko 'nazar' khu jaur-o-jafa ki us se na rakh ummid wafa ki
murakh hai jo banjar mein tu gehun ke dane bota hai
