dost ki dushmani se waqif hun
aap ki be-rukhi se waqif hun

ye mata-e-aziz hai meri
sozish-e-daimi se waqif hun

ras aae na jis ko jannat bhi
dil ki us bekali se waqif hun

nang-e-zulmat watan mein aai jo
is nai raushni se waqif hun

aaj ki zindagi pe hai ye bar
aaj ke daimi se waqif hun

ek shaitan ek farishta hai
aadmi aadmi se waqif hun

aashna bhi hue hain begane
dosto muflisi se waqif hun

kaun dekhega pairahan sad-chaak
apni is be-kasi se waqif hun

lamha bhar khul ke khak mein milna
phul ki tazgi se waqif hun

tur pe jo na pa sake musa
dil ki us sarkhushi se waqif hun

fash hain mujh pe raaz-e-yazdani
azmat-e-bandagi se waqif hun

ahl-e-tanqid mutmain rahiye
adab aur zindagi se waqif hun
