rah-o-rasm-e-khat-kitabat hi sahi
gul nahin to gul ki nikhat hi sahi

dil-lagi ka koi saman chahiye
qaht-e-mani ho to surat hi sahi

be-dimaghi banda-parwar is qadar
aap ki sab par hukumat hi sahi

dosti ka main ne kab dawa kiya
dur ki sahab salamat hi sahi

bas-ki zikr-ul-aish nisf-ul-aish hai
yaad-e-ayyam-e-faraghat hi sahi

waqt milne ka muayyan kijiye
khwah farda-e-qayamat hi sahi

husn-e-surat ka na kha aslan fareb
kilk-e-sanat-gar ki sanat hi sahi

kuchh na karna bhi magar ek kaam hai
gar nahin sohbat to uzlat hi sahi
