dil mera paemal karte hain
aap bhi bas kamal karte hain

baat hoti hai aap ki lekin
log mujh se sawal karte hain

mai-kade ke faqir ai saqi
kab kisi se sawal karte hain

dil ka kya gham hamein mohabbat mein
dil ki wo dekh-bhaal karte hain

mujh ko kahte hain log diwana
aap nahaq khayal karte hain

chot lagti hai dil pe ai hamdam
jab watan ka khayal karte hain

shukr kar shukr kar ki wo 'maikash'
tujh ko apna khayal karte hain
