qimat nahin rakkhi qad-o-qamat nahin rakkha
hum ne to koi kar-e-siyasat nahin rakkha

ab moajiza hone se raha tere badan se
hum ne bhi magar shauq-e-rifaqat nahin rakkha

khul kar mere bare mein teri rae nahin thi
tu ne hi gila hasb-e-riwayat nahin rakkha

aankhon ki tarah chhat bhi tapakti rahi shab bhar
barish ne mera ghar bhi salamat nahin rakkha

kis ne hamein aawargi-e-shahr ata ki
kis ne hamein masruf-e-ibaadat nahin rakkha

ab khun pasine ki kamai nahin milti
kyon rizq mera hasb-e-liyaqat nahin rakkha
