dast-bardar hua main bhi talabgari se
ab kahin ja ke ifaqa hua bimari se

khak mein khud ko milaya to jaden pai hain
kaise rokega koi mujh ko numudari se

tut hi jate hain ikhlas ke putle aakhir
so mujhe bach ke nikalna hai adakari se

ab bhi kuchh chizen hain bazar mein jo aai nahin
ab bhi munkir hai koi meri kharidari se

hum akahre kabhi bar-waqt samajh pate nahin
kaam kar jata hai chup-chap wo tahdari se

dil-e-nadan ulat deta hai akasr ye bisat
aql yun chaal bahut chalti hai ayyari se

jab achanak hi har ek faisla hona hai yahan
mujh ko bhi koi ilaqa nahin tayyari se

sakht-jaani ke mile kitne hi eazaz mujhe
aur milta bhi kya ummid ki be-zari se

jalta upar se hun andar se nikharta hun 'suhail'
khud ko yun aag lagata hun main fankari se
