hum agar radd-e-amal apna dikhane lag jaen
har ghamandi ke yahan hosh thikane lag jaen

khaksaron se kaho hosh mein aane lag jaen
is se pahle ki wo nazron se girane lag jaen

dekhna hum kahin phule na samane lag jaen
indiya jaise hi kuchh kuchh tera pane lag jaen

phul chehre ye sar-e-rah sitara aankhen
sham hote hi tera nam sujhane lag jaen

apni auqat mein rahna dil-e-khush-fahm zara
wo guzarish pe teri sar na khujaane lag jaen

haddiyan bap ki gude se hui hain khali
kam se kam ab to ye bete bhi kamane lag jaen

ek bil se kahin do bar dasa hai momin
zakhm-khurda hain to phir zakhm na khane lag jaen

dawa-e-khush-sukhani 'khair' abhi zeb nahin
chand ghazlon hi pe baghlen na bajaane lag jaen
