kyon dar badar phirun meri qismat mein kya nahin
but aashna nahin hai mera ya khuda nahin

ek bar aur meri ayaadat ko aaiye
achchhi tarah se main abhi achchha hua nahin

main khub jaanta hun lagawat ko aap ki
aankhen to mil rahi hain magar dil mila nahin

aankhen ladi hui hain gulon ki bahaar par
nargis ki tiktiki ko koi dekhta nahin

din katne ko khub to hai dil lagi ki rah
achchha hai ji laga jo kisi se bura nahin

darta hai roz-e-hashr ki sakhti se kis liye
kya tu tabib khadim khair elora nahin
