chhod kar khud ko aap ka hona
yar mushkil hai bewafa hona

baad rone ke aisa lagta hai
jaise zindan se riha hona

aap se dosti ka matlab hai
khak hone ka hausla hona

kyon kisi se main bandagi chahun
meri aadat nahin khuda hona

ajnabi tere bas ki baat nahin
hum faqiron se aashna hona

aaj hi us ne baat ki mujh se
aaj samjha main moajiza hona

hum bhi 'waqif' kahan ke achchhe hain
thik hai shaikh ka bura hona
