koi mahram nahin milta jahan mein
mujhe kahna hai kuchh apni zaban mein

qafas mein ji nahin lagta kisi tarah
laga do aag koi aashiyan mein

koi din bul-hawas bhi shad ho len
dhara kya hai ishaaraat-e-nihan mein

kahin anjam aa pahuncha wafa ka
ghula jata hun ab ke imtihan mein

naya hai lijiye jab nam us ka
bahut wusat hai meri dastan mein

dil-e-pur-dard se kuchh kaam lunga
agar fursat mili mujh ko jahan mein

bahut ji khush hua 'haali' se mil kar
abhi kuchh log baqi hain jahan mein
