chehre pe thodi rakkhi hai
dil mein betabi rakkhi hai

ek do din se jine walo
hum ne kafi ji rakkhi hai

dil ke shajar ne kis mehnat se
ek ek shakh hari rakkhi hai

wasl hua par dil mein tamanna
jaisi thi waisi rakkhi hai

ghair ki kya rakkhega ye darban
zalim ne kis ki rakkhi hai

hawas mein kuchh bhi kar sakte ho
ishq mein pabandi rakkhi hai

rind khade hain mimbar mimbar
aur waiz ne pi rakkhi hai

rakh qalandar ki le jao
aag kahan baqi rakkhi hai

ek to baatuni hai 'khawar'
upar se pi bhi rakkhi hai
