rafta rafta tarjumani dard ki
shairi hai qadrdani dard ki

zakhm-e-dil ka martaba shahon sa hai
aur dil hai rajdhani dard ki

hum se puchho tum maza taklif ka
hum ne ki hai mezbani dard ki

muskurahat ba-sabab honthon pe hai
khush-numa rukh hai nishani dard ki

zindagi mein sab bhale ghamgin hain
hai alag sab ki kahani dard ki

ghamgusaron se kinara kar liya
dil ne aakhir baat mani dard ki

mar gae hote 'dinesh' us ke baghair
ji rahe hain mehrbani dard ki
