hamdardi ki zara bhi zarurat nahin mujhe
ehsan koi uthane ki aadat nahin mujhe

han lalchi hun aur ziyaada ki hai hawas
itne qalil par to qanaat nahin mujhe

darkar thi jo chiz wo na-paid ho chuki
wafir wahi hai jis ki zarurat nahin mujhe

sab kuchh bigad ke hi na rakh dun kise khabar
is kaam mein zara bhi mahaarat nahin mujhe

wo baat bas umumi rawayyon ke bare thi
tum se wagarna koi shikayat nahin mujhe

tum hote ho to lagta hai sab kuchh bhara bhara
jaise kisi bhi chiz ki qillat nahin mujhe

ek rae mae-dalil yahan pesh karni hai
maqsud warna apni wakalat nahin mujhe

aaram hi mein itna main mashghul hun ki ab
aise fuzul kaamon ki fursat nahin mujhe

andar to khair dur ki filhaal idhar kahin
bahar bhi baithne ki ijazat nahin mujhe

har kaam karta hun bade aaram se main 'gul'
aur is muamle mein to ujlat nahin mujhe
