kya jurm hamara hai bata kyun nahin dete
mujrim hain agar hum to saza kyun nahin dete

kya jalwa-e-mani hai dikha kyun nahin dete
diwar-e-hijabaat gira kyun nahin dete

tum ko to bada naz-e-masihai tha yaro
bimar hai har shakhs dawa kyun nahin dete

kis dasht mein gum ho gae ahbab hamare
hum kan lagae hain sada kyun nahin dete

kam-zarf hain jo pi ke bahut ke hain sar-e-bazm
mahfil se unhen aap utha kyun nahin dete

kyun hath mein larza hai tumhein khauf hai kis ka
hum harf-e-ghalat hain to mita kyun nahin dete

kuchh log abhi ishq mein gustakh bahut hain
aadab-e-wafa un ko sikha kyun nahin dete

naghma wahi naghma hai utar jae jo dil mein
duniya ko 'hafiz' aap bata kyun nahin dete
