sang us ka hai aur sar mera
aakhiri mod par hai dar mera

ek chhalawa hai mil ka patthar
ek haqiqat hai ye safar mera

ai hawao chalo gawahi do
tum ne dekha hai jalta ghar mera

do ghadi aur mujh ko sun lije
ab to qissa hai mukhtasar mera

jab zamana tha meri mutthi mein
kaam aaya bahut hunar mera

main nahin fan-shanas kahte hain
nam thoda hai mo'atabar mera

bas kisi taur ai miyan 'saqib'
ho raha hai guzar-basar mera
