jab se hum rakhne lage hain kaam apne kaam se
wo udhar aaram se hain hum idhar aaram se

ye bhi kat jaegi jo thodi bahut baqi hai umr
hum yahi karte rahenge kaam apne aam se

is dar-e-insaf ke darban bhi hain munsif bahut
hum junhi fariyaad se baz aae wo dushnam se

aashiqi mein lutf to sara tajassus ki hai den
kar diya aaghaz mein kyon aashna anjam se

khak se banti hai jaise khisht hum kuchh is tarah
dekh kya sona banate hain khayal-e-kham se

is tarah mil jae shayad baryabi ka sharaf
mashwara hai ab ke arzi bhej farzi nam se

ya to wo taswir hai pesh-e-nazar ya kuchh nahin
hath dho didon se 'basir' ye gae ab kaam se
