jaanta us ko hun dawa ki tarah
chahta us ko hun shifa ki tarah

hai dahan ghaeb aur kamar anqa
khud bhi nayab ho huma ki tarah

chaal ne teri fitna-e-mahshar
pis dala mujhe hina ki tarah

khak chhani bahut pata na mila
wo hai nayab kimiya ki tarah

is qadar na-tawan 'haqir' hain hum
hil nahin sakte naqsh-e-pa ki tarah
