mata-e-khun-e-jigar ashk ko pila baithe
asasa hath mein jitna tha sab utha baithe

kisi hasin se dil ko jo hum laga baithe
to apni maut ko khud aap hi bula baithe

bada gunah kiya jo qubul ki dawat
wo dil ko le ude aur dur ja baithe

use bulane baithane ka zikr hi kya hai
jo az-khud aae nigahon mein aur sama baithe

hamare haal pe itna to wo karam kar de
ki dil na de na sahi kuchh qarib aa baithe

nafa samajh ke base the tumhaare kuche mein
magar jo ganth mein tha wo bhi sab luta baithe

hum un buzurg ke pairaw hain ek adna se
nazar ki raushni jo tur par ganwa baithe

har ek bazm mein charcha hai har zaban par zikr
ye kis se majra-e-ishq hum suna baithe

wo dast-e-faiz to 'rahbar' nihaal kar deta
umid aap kisi aur se laga baithe
