ranj-o-huzn-o-malal na sain
koi mera kamal na sain

ek tere baad ho mere dil mein
aur koi khayal na sain

bakht mein hai teri nazar to phir
bakht mein ho zawal na sain

baadshaha teri hai sardari
main karungi sawal na sain

hai yaqin aap laut aaenge
kab raha ehtimal na sain

ab 'rabab' aadat-e-aziyyat hai
main rahun aur nidhaal na sain
