shikwa karte hain zaban se na gila karte hain
tum salamat raho hum to ye dua karte hain

phir mere dil ke phansane ki hui hai tadbir
phir nae sar se wo paiman-e-wafa karte hain

tum mujhe hath utha kar is ada se koso
dekhne wale ye samjhen ki dua karte hain

in hasinon ka hai duniya se nirala andaz
shokhiyan bazm mein khalwat mein haya karte hain

hashr ka zikr na kar us ki gali mein waiz
aise hangame yahan roz hua karte hain

lag hai hum se adu ko to adu se hamein rashk
ek hi aag mein hum donon jala karte hain

un ka shikwa na raqibon ki shikayat hai 'hafiz'
sirf hum apne muqaddar ka gila karte hain
