khandani qaul ka to pas rakh
ram hai to samne ban-bas rakh

aas ke gauhar bhi kuchh mil jaenge
yas ke kuchh pattharon ko pas rakh

tu imarat ke mahal ka khwab chhod
khwab mein bas jhonpadi ka bas rakh

mahz teri zat tak mahdud kyun
mausamon ke kaif ka bhi pas rakh

dahr mein mazi bhi tha tera na bhul
aane wale kal mein bhi wishwas rakh

tujh ko apne gham ka to ehsas ho
apne pahlu mein dil-e-hassas rakh

daulat-e-iflas tujh ko mil gai
daulat-e-kaunain ki ab aas rakh

mubtadi ko lauh se hai wasta
tu to hai ahl-e-qalam qirtas rakh

bostan sab ko lage tera wajud
apne tan mein is liye bu-bas rakh

ye zaman hai tez-rau ghoda nahin
hath mein apne na us ki ras rakh

sahib-e-maqdur hai mana 'figar'
ye tujhe kis ne kaha tha das rakh
