paikar-e-lala-o-gul hai use patthar na kaho
wo hai mahbub mera us ko sitamgar na kaho

ye to sach hai ki khuda ne hai diya sabr mujhe
phir bhi ayyub nahin mujh ko payambar na kaho

apni takhliq ko becha nahin karte fankar
but-faroshon ko kabhi bhul ke aazar na kaho

muntashir sadiyon se hain tar-e-gareban ki tarah
hum hain auraq-e-pareshan hamein daftar na kaho

dosto kuchh to kaho taki main khud ko jaanun
mujh ko bad-tar hi kaho gar mujhe behtar na kaho

wo to pagal hai jise kahte hain sab log 'umar'
aise diwane ko dana-o-qalandar na kaho
