kise khayal ki ishrat ke bab kitne hain
ye pyas kitni hai is par sarab kitne hain

safina ghat laga dekh hum ye bhul gae
ki wo safine jo hain gharq-e-ab kitne hain

tu ye na puchh mere ganw mein hain ghar kitne
ye puchh kaun se ghar mein azab kitne hain

sharik-e-gham use kar to liya magar socho
ki zimmedar ke zimme jawab kitne hain

bada ghurur hai tujh ko azim lashkar par
kabhi to soch tere ham-rikab kitne hain

lachakti shakh pe kante bhi kam nahin hote
yahi na dekhiye kis par gulab kitne hain
