mai-parasti mein hi guzar jaun
is se pahle ki main sudhar jaun

apna wada nibha nahin sakta
kash us aankh se utar jaun

mujh ko mat is nigah se dekho
ye na ho ab ki main thahar jaun

yar hun sab ka main agar khush hun
ghair hun main jo muntashar jaun

aaj kitni khushi ka din tha 'arsh'
ab mujhe chahiye ki mar jaun
