naqab chehre pe baaten luab-dar kare
wo rahnuma hai siyasat ka karobar kare

ye sirf khwabon kitabon ki baat lagti hai
ki ek gharib ki imdad mal-dar kare

nae zamane ka rahzan naya saliqa hai
wo lautta hai magar pahle hoshiyar kare

charagh le ke bhi dhundhenge to milegi nahin
jahan mein ek bhi hasti jo man sa pyar kare

hawa ke zor se hi kashtiyan nahin chaltin
ki nakhuda bhi khuda se zara guhaar kare

wo gul-badan hai mukammal bahaar se badh kar
bas us ka zikr hi mausam ko khush-gawar kare

na jaane kaun si basti ka tu hai bashinda
tujhe 'dinesh' koi gham na be-qarar kare
