kuchh na khat mein na kuchh jawab mein hai
jo bhi kuchh hai tere hisab mein hai

ye wafa bhi jafa ke bab mein hai
jaan meri bhi ek azab mein hai

tere jalwe se mehr-e-alam-tab
nur jis tarah mahtab mein hai

apni hai aur manzil-e-maqsud
aap ka kucha paturab mein hai

kuchh na samjhe haqiqat-e-alam
sara hangama ek khwab mein hai

tum ne kya baat raat kah di thi
ghair bhi aaj iztirab mein hai

rashk-e-ishrat hai lazzat-e-hasrat
kuchh gunah mein hai ne sawab mein hai

hosh aaega ab qayamat ko
sari duniya abhi to khwab mein hai

jab se wada kiya hai aane ka
'qadri' un ke roab-o-dab mein hai
