dawa asar nahin rakhti dua qubul nahin
ye kaise log hain jin ko khuda qubul nahin

mera bhi dil nahin lagta ghane makanon mein
use bhi shahr ki aab-o-hawa qubul nahin

pahunch to sakta hun manzil pe aap se pahle
magar main kya karun jab rasta qubul nahin

ki jis se sher mein mani ka iltawa hi na ho
sukhan ke bab mein wo tajraba qubul nahin

main wo faqir hun jis ko dilon ke taqchon mein
khuda qubul hai khauf-e-khuda qubul nahin

wo husn hai use zeba tamam raaz-o-niyaz
main ishq hun mujhe shikwa gila qubul nahin

dil-o-dimagh pe tari hai us ka ishq 'fida'
dil-o-dimagh ko duniya bhi na-qubul nahin
