sang-e-tiflan fida-e-sar na hua
aaj us kuche mein guzar na hua

hum bhi the jauhar-e-giran-maya
par koi sahib-e-nazar na hua

amn-alam mein kyun nahin ya rab
is ke qabil magar bashar na hua

be-kasi parda-dar-e-dard hui
khair guzri ki apna ghar na hua

qadrdani ki kaifiyat malum
aib kya hai agar hunar na hua

sar jhukae jo aate ho 'wahshat'
magar is bazm mein guzar na hua
