haq wafa ke jo hum jatane lage
aap kuchh kah ke muskurane lage

tha yahan dil mein tan-e-wasl-e-adu
uzr un ki zaban pe aane lage

hum ko jina padega furqat mein
wo agar himmat aazmane lage

dar hai meri zaban na khul jae
ab wo baaten bahut banane lage

jaan bachti nazar nahin aati
ghair ulfat bahut jatane lage

tum ko karna padega uzr-e-jafa
hum agar dard-e-dil sunane lage

sakht mushkil hai shewa-e-taslim
hum bhi aakhir ko ji churane lage

ji mein hai lun raza-e-pir-e-mughan
qafile phir haram ko jaane lage

sirr-e-baatin ko fash kar ya rab
ahl-e-zahir bahut satane lage

waqt-e-rukhsat tha sakht 'haali' par
hum bhi baithe the jab wo jaane lage
