koi taqrib ho lachaariyan hain
bade logon se rishte-dariyan hain

hamari kaj-kulahi par na jao
abhi hum mein wahi khuddariyan hain

murawwat aao-bhagti waza-dari
ye pichhle ahd ki bimariyan hain

khusha jin ko mayassar aaen ninden
yahan to umr bhar bedariyan hain

nahin hai aadmi ke bas mein kuchh bhi
to phir kahe ki khud-mukhtariyan hain

wazir-o-mir hon ya shaikh-o-waiz
sabhi logon mein zahir-dariyan hain

nahin hai monis-e-jaan 'saz' koi
dikhawe ki faqat dil-dariyan hain
