main nam-lewa hun tera tu mo'atabar kar de
hayat khub nahin hai tu mukhtasar kar de

hisar-e-zat ke zindan-e-be-aman ki khair
ghubar-e-rah ki surat hi muntashar kar de

darogh-e-maslahat-amez ke kharabe mein
ana-pasand mizajon ko dar-ba-dar kar de

gae dinon ko talashen ki agli rut mein khulen
tu mausamon ko hawaon se ba-khabar kar de

libas-e-faqr mein itni tawangari to rahe
dil-e-gharib ko wusat mein bahr-o-bar kar de

main ek umr se jaga kiya hun jis ke liye
dua-e-nim-shabi mein zara asar kar de

'waqar' shakhs ki shair na us ki fikr na fan
tamam aib hain chahe to sab hunar kar de
