jahan dar tha wahan diwar kyun hai
alag naqshe se ye meamar kyun hai

khuda aazad tha hakim ki had se
khuda ke shahr mein sarkar kyun hai

bahut aasan hai mil-jul ke bahna
nadi aur dhaar mein paikar kyun hai

hazaron rang ke phulon se khinch kar
bana hai shahd to bekar kyun hai

kisi bhi samt se aa kar parinde
sajaen jhil to aazar kyun hai

teri mahfil mein sab baithe hain aa kar
hamara baithna dushwar kyun hai

bana kar rakh tu ghar achchha rahega
tu malik ban kirae-dar kyun hai

tumhaare sath hum aage badhe the
hamari pith par talwar kyun hai

khuda se kya raqabat hai sanam ki
rah-e-masjid nazar mein khar kyun hai

ibarat mein na kar tahrif beja
hamare nam se bezar kyun hai

parinde ko jo mauqa do dikha de
bandhe par ka safar lachaar kyun hai

padosi ho to phal ya phul late
tumhaare hath mein hathiyar kyun hai

zamin phaili hui hai aasman tak
bas ek tukde pe yun takrar kyun hai
