nasib mein hai judai to rona-dhona kya
hai sari chiz parai to rona-dhona kya

yahan to apne hi apnon ko mar dete hain
hawa ne shama bujhai to rona-dhona kya

usi ne hath badhaya tha dosti ke liye
usi ne baat badhai to rona-dhona kya

mere aziz hi jab mere munharif nikle
hui khilaf khudai to rona-dhona kya

hazar sal ke jab budhe mar gae 'shauqi'
kamai chiz ganwai to rona-dhona kya
