gardish mein sitare hon jis ke duniya ko bhala kab bhata hai
wo lakh patak le sar apna par jag se saza hi pata hai

muflis ka bhi jina kya jina jo ghunt lahu ke pi jae
jitna wo jhuke jag ke aage utni hi wo thokar khata hai

ai dard chala ja aur kahin is dil ko bhi thodi rahat ho
kyon uth ke gharibon ke dar se mujh ko hi sada tadpata hai

itna bhi na achchha wahshi-pan daulat ke nashe mein pagal sun
jo hai na kabhi tikne wali us chiz pe kyon itraata hai

bheja tha bana jis ko rahbar par pesh wo rahzan sa aaya
ab kaise yaqin us par kar len jo rang badal phir aata hai

mana ki jahan nayab khuda karigari hai is mein teri
par dil ko manaen kaise hum rah kar jo yahan ghabraata hai

ye shauq naman ne pala hai dukh dard pirota ghazlon mein
bedard zamane par hansta mazlum pe aansu lata hai
