gul nahin khar samajhte hain mujhe
sab giran-bar samajhte hain mujhe

hain andhere bhi gurezan mujh se
chashm-e-bedar samajhte hain mujhe

meri peshani pe mehrab nahin
wo gunahgar samajhte hain mujhe

daulat-e-dard mera sarmaya
kyun wo nadar samajhte hain mujhe

dur baithe hain meri mahfil se
wajh-e-azar samajhte hain mujhe

chaara-gar bhi hain gurezan mujh se
tera bimar samajhte hain mujhe

kya kahun un se maal-e-ulfat
jo teri haar samajhte hain mujhe

meri ghurbat nahin khulti mujh par
log zardar samajhte hain mujhe

mera isbaat mohabbat hai meri
aur wo inkar samajhte hain mujhe

main nahin bazm se jaane wali
ahal-e-darbar samajhte hain mujhe

kab samajhna wo mujhe chahte hain
kar-e-dushwar samajhte hain mujhe

kyun 'sahar' haal sunaun un ko
mere gham-khwar samajhte hain mujhe
