chehre pe jo raunaq hai wo andar to nahin hai
jo yar ka dil moh le wo jauhar to nahin hai

sad-shukr qanaat ki mujhe mil gai daulat
nadar hun rahzan ka mujhe dar to nahin hai

sakin hun jahan shakk-o-hasad bughz-o-tanafur
rahne ko makan hai wo magar ghar to nahin hai

dastak diye jata hai koi ajnabi hoga
maujud ho jo dil mein wo bahar to nahin hai

us ka wahi jalwa hai wahi jalwagari hai
han mujh ko hi tab-e-rukh-e-anwar to nahin hai

kyon karta hai wo hashr bapa ishq pe us se
mashuq hai wo dawar-e-mahshar to nahin hai
