raushni subh ki ya shab ki syahi denge
jo bhi dena hai tumhein zill-e-ilahi denge

shaikh sahab to azal se hain dushman mere
kha ke quran ki qasam jhuti gawahi denge

un se rakhiye na kisi mehr-o-wafa ki ummid
ye to aise hain ki suraj ko syahi denge

mausam-e-lutf-e-ata hai abhi maikhane mein
jam kya chiz hai ye tum ko surahi denge

to hiqarat ki nazar se na unhen dekh miyan
ye phate kapde tujhe khilat-e-shahi denge

aisa lagta hai hawaon ke ye pagal jhonke
ret par likkhi ibarat ko mita hi denge

itni mayusi bhi achchhi nahin khote sikko
ek na ek din tumhein hum log chala hi denge

karke ye faisla hum ghar se chale hain 'qaisar'
kuchh khari khoti tumhein aaj suna hi denge
