ghut ke rah jati hain sine mein sadaen kitni
jam gai hain mere honton pe duaen kitni

puchhna chahiye aadam ko khuda se apne
ek hi jurm ki hoti hain sazaen kitni

zahr-alud hansi galiyan aansu ashaar
mere jazbaat ne odhi hain ridaen kitni

haq ki aawaz ko pahchan sakunga kaise
gunjti hain mere kanon mein sadaen kitni

mere khaliq mujhe itni to khabar di jae
mujh se sarzad abhi hona hain khataen kitni

kuchh hisab is ka farishton ne bhi rakkha hoga
mustarad kar di gain meri duaen kitni

ras aane ki tarah ras nahin aati hain
kaj hain doshiza-e-hasti ki adaen kitni
