main hun zalim ki aan-ban se khush
warna hai kaun aasman se khush

na-khushi ka khayal tha lekin
wo hue meri dastan se khush

is tarah bas mein aa gaya koi
kar liya main ne phul pan se khush

is qadar gham hai mere qatil ko
jis qadar main hun imtihan se khush

khak pahunchega wo sar-e-manzil
jo musafir hua takan se khush

ek ko jhidki ek ko dhamki
kaun hai aap ki zaban se khush

chhod kar dil ko dard jae kahan
ye makin hai isi makan se khush

pas koi pahunch nahin sakta
is liye hain wo pasban se khush

jaan-o-dil donon aap le jaen
main hun sau dil hazar jaan se khush

saqi-e-mai-farosh rahta hai
apni chalti hui dukan se khush

'nuh' ko chain umr bhar na mila
kya hon wo apne imtihan se khush
