sahib-e-sidq hun main khauf-e-khuda rakhta hun
apne honton pe sada haq ki sada rakhta hun

aaj-kal jine ka andaz juda rakhta hun
apne dushman ke liye lab pe dua rakhta hun

band kamre mein koi baith ke kuchh bhi soche
main khule dar ki tarah zehn khula rakhta hun

mausam-e-gul ki kisi chot ka shikwa kaisa
main to patjhad mein bhi har zakhm hara rakhta hun

jaane kis haal mein hoga wo mera harjai
jeb mein aaj bhi main jis ka pata rakhta hun

us ke aane ki abhi aas nahin tuti hai
har dariche mein diya jalta hua rakhta hun

parsa mujh ko samajhte hain zamane wale
aur main pesh-e-nazar apni khata rakhta hun

mujh ko kuchh dar nahin is daur ke firaunon ka
kyunki musa ki tarah main bhi asa rakhta hun

tum mujhe dar pe khincho ya mujhe qatl karo
dar-bardar hun main azm naya rakhta hun

dosti yun to hai is shahr mein sab se lekin
apne dushman ka bhi ai 'shauq' pata rakhta hun
