mashaqqat ka khazana mangta hai
meri mehnat zamana mangta hai

har ek lamha dil-e-awara-fitrat
masafat ka khazana mangta hai

muqaddar se jise manga tha main ne
use mujh se zamana mangta hai

ajab pagal hai mere man ka panchhi
qafas mein aashiyana mangta hai

hamein har aan aamad-e-hijrat
hamara aab-o-dana mangta hai

sitam ye hai ki hum tishna-labon se
sitamgar aabyana mangta hai

hamare shahr ka mard-e-subuk-sar
kulah-e-khusrawana mangta hai

mera har ek munafiq yar mujh se
khulus-e-dostana mangta he
