mane to kis ki diwana mane
jitni zabanen utne fasane

andaz us ka ahwal mera
kuchh main na samjhun kuchh wo na jaane

allah re ye khud-e'timadi
main ab chala hun un ko bulane

gum-karda-e-rah kya sochta hai
chhod aaya pichhe kitne thikane

meri wafa ka wo mo'tarif hai
apni khata ko mane na mane

chaho to aao chaho na aao
donon ke yaksan hile bahane

kuchh mere gham se nisbat hai un ko
yaad aa rahe hain kitne fasane

kya hai 'salim' in baaton ka hasil
kis ko chala hai tu aazmane
