kuchh din to kar taawun ai khush-sifat mujh se
tanha na ho sakegi tathir-e-zat mujh se

fariyaad ai samaat insaf ai farasat
karte hain ahl-e-duniya duniya ki baat mujh se

hairan hun ki us tak kis kis jihat se pahunchun
aawargi-talab hain sad-ha jihat mujh se

kyun ai hayat-e-rafta roke hue hai rasta
kya chahti hai aakhir ai be-sabaat mujh se

yunan ke sakhi to talkhab nazr kar den
pani aziz rakkhen ahl-e-furaat mujh se

gardish mein hain sitare hai koi jo pukare
aa ai gharib-e-kucha le ja zakat mujh se

wa hai daricha-e-dil ek chikh ban ke dar aa
sargoshiyan kahan tak ai sard raat mujh se
