nim ke patton ka zakhmon ko dhuan de dijiye
phir meri aankhon ko pahre-dariyan de dijiye

ho sake to ye nawazish hum faqiron par karen
bujhte rangon ka hamein ye aasman de dijiye

shab-paraston ko bhi taskin-e-ana mil jaegi
un ka haq hai un ko shab-bedariyan de dijiye

shakh par kanton ko pairahan badalne ke liye
mausamon ko shabnami be-samtiyan de dijiye

be-hisi ka khushk sa sahra hai aankhon mein meri
dhul-e-manzar se to kuchh tughyaniyan de dijiye

dhundalke to nauha-khwani mein bahut masruf hain
raat zakhmi hai use baisakhiyan de dijiye

aarizi mausam ko bhi ehsas-e-mahrumi na ho
ghar ke sannaton ko ehsas-e-ziyan de dijiye

dhup mein thodi si gunjaish nikal aae to 'rind'
ek mutthi chhanw ka hi saeban de dijiye
