dard ka dard se darman karte
yun ilaj-e-gham-e-jaanan karte

hum agar fikr-e-gulistan karte
roz daman ko gareban karte

ghar ki virani se fursat na mili
warna hum sair-e-bayaban karte

kitna arzan hai gharibon ka lahu
aap to roz charaghan karte

dil umand aaya tha baithe baithe
kaise andaza-e-tufan karte

dil ka khun aankh tak aa hi jata
aap kuchh zikr-e-gulistan karte

umr guzri hai hamari 'ehsas'
khatir-e-sham-e-ghariban karte
