pahuncha hai aaj qais ka yan silsila mujhe
jangal ki ras kyun na ho aab-o-hawa mujhe

aana agar tera nahin hota hai mere ghar
daulat-sara mein apne hi ek din bula mujhe

wo howe aur main hun aur ek kunj-e-afiyat
is se ziyaada chahiye phir aur kya mujhe

paida kiya hai jab se ki main rabt-e-ishq se
begana jaanta hai har ek aashna mujhe

kafir buton ki rah na ja aa khuda ko man
pir-e-khird ne garche kaha bar-ha mujhe

par kya karun ki dil hi nahin ikhtiyar mein
us khanuma-kharab ne aajiz kiya mujhe

pahle hi apne dil ko na dena tha us ke hath
'iman' ab to koi padi hai wafa mujhe
