ek samt duniya mushtail aur ek taraf hai soz-e-dil
sadiyon se jari hai ye panja-azmai mustaqil

hone laga hai rafta rafta titliyon ka khun safed
phulon ko bas is ranj ne hi kar diya hai muzmahil

suraj se bach kar aa gaya ek ped ko apna liya
aur wo shajar karne laga mujh mein hararat muntaqil

dastak na de dastak na de dastak na de dil par mere
khali makan hai naseha mat kar nigahban ko khajil

jari hai kab se karobar-e-ishq kya batlaun main
bazar ka to kya kahun aadam bhi the be-ab-o-gil

mali mayassar hi nahin mali mayassar hi nahin
bas dukh yahi lahaq hua hai is shajar ko jaan-gusil

tha surat-e-raftar dil se aql ko aisa hasad
ek aur dil hi ho gaya hai meri manzil mein mukhil
