kya kya diye fareb har ek e'tibar ne
apna bana diya hai tere intizar ne

kya jaane kitne ahl-e-tariqat ko aaj tak
gumrah kar diya hai tere rahguzar ne

kuchh un ki justuju hai na kuchh apni guftugu
ye kya bana diya sitam-e-rozgar ne

han ai nigah-e-garm na kar mukhtasar hayat
hum ko hazar bojh abhi hain utarne

uljhe hue hain gesu-e-jaanan mein aaj tak
'ali' chale the kakul-e-giti sanwarne
