had se guzri hai ibtila meri
ab to sun le mera khuda meri

aaj begana wo nigahen hain
thin jo muddat se aashna meri

kaun karta hai mujh gharib pe rahm
kaun sunta hai iltija meri

hun wo bimar-e-gham ki mushkil se
kar sakega koi dawa meri

na mila dil ka qadr-dan na mila
yun hi ruswa hui wafa meri

koi insaf bhi hai duniya mein
badh gai jurm se saza meri

baat kuchh ban gai to jaanunga
kaam kuchh kar gai dua meri

dhundhta hun sukun-e-dil 'hairat'
ye khata hai to hai khata meri
