hain ye sare jite-ji ke waste
kaun marta hai kisi ke waste

aadmi sahta hai kya kya zillaten
nafs-e-mardud-e-shaqi ke waste

hum bhi jaenge sulaiman tak kabhi
arz karne ek pari ke waste

dar-ba-dar kuchon mein hum bhi phir chuke
ek husn-e-khangi ke waste

kisht-zar-e-zafran se kam nahin
rang-e-zard apna hansi ke waste

kyun diye hain tu ne qassam-e-azal
ranj lakhon ek ji ke waste

do zakat-e-husn kuchh darwesh ko
hain bade rutbe sakhi ke waste

ek se ek hain ek se le lakh tak
saf-shikan mard-e-jari ke waste

gham ne is darja kiya dil mein hujum
ja nahin hai khurmi ke waste

aur kya ho yar ki aankhon se kaam
khulq hain jadugari ke waste

yaad rakhna shart aur mashrut hai
aadamiyat aadmi ke waste

ranj-o-andoh-o-malal-o-dard-o-gham
sadme hain ye aadmi ke waste

sabza-e-madfan uga tha kyun falak
aahuon ki kya chari ke waste

lad gae wo ek zara si baat mein
pahron ruthe ek ghadi ke waste

ji na ghabrae tera be-mashghale
ishq kar le dil-lagi ke waste

kya mujhe paida kiya hai ai khuda
in buton ki bandagi ke waste

be-kasi mere liye paida hui
main bana hun be-kasi ke waste

bola murgh-e-nama-bar ko kar ke zabah
ye saza hai elchi ke waste

dhugdugi mein jaan atki hai meri
hae kis champa-kali ke waste

baryab-e-khalwat-e-mahbub hai
kya sharaf hai aarasi ke waste

marqad-e-tira mein kafi hai mujhe
dagh-e-sauda raushni ke waste

kijiye har dam abas tan-parwari
ai ajal kis zindagi ke waste

khama-e-qudrat ne khinchin wo bhawen
rasti ye hai kaji ke waste

hashr ke din 'rind' ko bakhshaiyo
ya-ali ruh-e-nabi ke waste
