muflis ko samajh aaenge aazar namak ke
pani ki kahani mein hain kirdar namak ke

kheme ke charaghon ko bujhane se khulega
hubdar-e-wafa ho ya ki hubdar namak ke

sae ki tarah rahte hain khush-haali mein lekin
barish mein bikhar jate hain sab yar namak ke

ye sham ki basti hai yahan sar hain sinan par
milte hi nahin khun mein aasar namak ke

ek shahr-e-mohabbat ki sajawat ki gharaz se
ashkon se churae gae minar namak ke

raftar-e-zamana ne bataya ye sabab hai
naw ko dubo dete hain ghaddar namak ke

guftar ke nashtar se kuredo na zubun ko
ye zakhm-e-junun hain nahin haqdar namak ke

thodi si nami ho to pighal jate hain 'zamzam'
darpesh hain makhluq ko sardar namak ke
