khuda ne kyun dil-e-dard-ashna diya hai mujhe
is aagahi ne to pagal bana diya hai mujhe

tumhi ko yaad na karta to aur kya karta
tumhaare baad sabhi ne bhula diya hai mujhe

saubaton mein safar ki kabhi jo nind aai
mere badan ki thakan ne utha diya hai mujhe

main wo charagh hun jo aandhiyon mein raushan tha
khud apne ghar ki hawa ne bujha diya hai mujhe

bas ek tohfa-e-iflas ke siwa 'saqi'
mashaqqaton ne meri aur kya diya hai mujhe
