dil phir raha hai dard-e-mohabbat liye hue
phirti hai bad-nasib ko shamat liye hue

rakkha rahega husn jo jaanbaz uth gae
baithe rahoge chand si surat liye hue

lao to main hi is ki haqiqat ko dekh lun
hai kis qadar majaz haqiqat liye hue

talqin-e-sabr-o-shukr hai waiz ka mashghala
kya us ki guftugu hai nahusat liye hue

main be-niyaz hun mera saman puchhiye
baitha hua hun rakht-e-qanaat liye hue

rah jaega kahan ye meri gham ki kya bisat
tum aa to jao apni masarrat liye hue

rahmat kahin tamam hi kar de na sab hisab
jae na hashr aa ke nadamat liye hue

ai ahl-e-mal jao to qarun se mil to lo
puchho kahan chala hai ye daulat liye hue

chakhna hai sab ko zaiqa-e-talkh maut ka
hum tum hain 'khushtar' ek hi dawat liye hue
