mil hi jaani thi munasib koi qimat mujh ko
tu ne samjha hai magar mal-e-ghanimat mujh ko

meri ninden hi sabab hain meri bedari ka
mere khwabon se hi hoti hai aziyyat mujh ko

ek rishte ko bachane ke liye aathon pahar
karni padti hai amanat mein khayanat mujh ko

sochta hun ki nikal aaun main bahar ghar se
dhundhti phirti hai kuchh roz se shohrat mujh ko

mujh se badh kar hi nahin koi bhi ab mera harif
khud se har waqt hi rahti hai shikayat mujh ko

ab to har lamha jhuka hai ye ana ka palda
mahngi padne lagi ab meri sharafat mujh ko

tha karam kam hi kahan mujh pe mere malik ka
dekhne ki hi mili na kabhi fursat mujh ko

khud ko rakh chhoda hai ab main ne hawa par 'wahid'
le ke jati hai kidhar dekhiye qismat mujh ko
