khubi-e-tarz-e-maqalat se kya hota hai
baat karte rahe hum baat se kya hota hai

raat kat jae to phir raat chali aaegi
raat kat jaegi ek raat se kya hota hai

kisi jaanib se jawab aae to kuchh baat chale
kawish-e-husn-e-sawalat se kya hota hai

jab ki taqtir-e-rag-e-jaan se bandhi hai taqdir
be-khabar zikr-o-munajat se kya hota hai

dan dije ki mere gham ka mudawa howe
ranj hota hai hisabaat se kya hota hai

dil ki wusat se hai aasani-e-anfas wale
wusat-e-sahn-e-mahallat se kya hota hai

samne aao kisi roz to kuchh baat karen
umr-bhar hall-e-muammat se kya hota hai

zat hi mazhar-e-mear-e-haq-o-baatil hai
wo ghalat kahte hain ki zat se kya hota hai

jaan nikal jaegi to faisla denge che khub
sahibo aisi mukafat se kya hota hai
