kya aziyyat hai ki be-kar pade hain ghar mein
us pe tanhai ke ambar pade hain ghar mein

mere sarwat ki kitaben teri yaadon ki ghutan
khud-kushi ke kai auzar pade hain ghar mein

ek teri yaad ka rona ho to ro bhi lun main
aur sau tarh ke aazar pade hain ghar mein

kyon na hakim ko kate hath ka tohfa bhejun
ahd-e-kam-zarf hai fankar pade hain ghar mein
