shaikh o pandit dharm aur islam ki baaten karen
kuchh khuda ke qahr kuchh inam ki baaten karen

yas-o-hirman-o-gham-o-alam ki baaten karen
aa dil-e-iza-talab kuchh kaam ki baaten karen

ye sunaen pak naghme awwalin ilham ke
wo khuda ke aakhiri paigham ki baaten karen

hum khade sunte rahen aur dil mein ye kahte rahen
ab ye rukhsat hon to hum kuchh kaam ki baaten karen

dost se kah den dil-e-be-muddaa ki dastan
aaj saqi se shikast-e-jam ki baaten karen

umr bhar ka ahd-e-ulfat ek khayal-e-kham tha
aao lekin is khayal-e-kham ki baaten karen

zindagi be-shak tera inam hai ya-rab magar
sun sake to kuchh tere inam ki baaten karen
