sitam ke baad karam ki ada bhi khub rahi
jafa to khair jafa thi wafa bhi khub rahi

ba-faiz-e-gardish-e-dauran unhen bhi pyar aaya
ba-pas-e-maslahat un ki raza bhi khub rahi

ba-sad-khulus qanaat ki dad milti hai
gada-nawazi-e-ahl-e-sakha bhi khub rahi

lagi hai mohr muqaddar ki dane dane par
ye khush-mazaqi-e-shan-e-khuda bhi khub rahi

kahin shikam ke taqaze nazar nahin aate
charagh-e-dair-o-haram ki ziya bhi khub rahi

hamare hath se aati hai bu-e-pairahan
hamare husn-e-talab ki ada bhi khub rahi
