izzat unhen mili wahi aakhir bade rahe
jo khak ho ke aap ke dar par pade rahe

ai dost mughtanim hain wo muradan-e-ba-waqar
usrat mein bhi jo aan pe apni ade rahe

payab ho ke sail ne un ke qadam liye
manjdhaar mein jo panw jamae khade rahe

padti nahin har ek pe us ki nigah-e-naz
saqi ke aastan pe hazaron pade rahe

apnon ki talkh-goi ki lazzat na puchhiye
bhaale se umr bhar rag-e-jaan mein gade rahe

manind-e-sang-e-mil dikhai har ek ko rah
lekin khud apne panw zamin mein gade rahe

zalim se ek bose pe barson rahi hai zid
aakhir tak apni baat pe hum bhi ade rahe

shayad ki multafit ho koi shahsawar-e-naz
kis aarzu se hum sar-e-manzil khade rahe

fitne bahut hain but-kada o khanqah mein
achchhe rahe jo dasht-e-junun mein pade rahe

'wasif' ka intizar tha sahra mein baad-e-qais
kante bhi muddaton yunhi pyase pade rahe
