tera karam ki main jab mat tak pahunch jata
to koi hath mere hath tak pahunch jata

main us ki bazm mein chup-chap hi raha karta
magar wo phir bhi meri baat tak pahunch jata

main bhaw-taw agar karta to wo khwab-farosh
qayas hai meri auqat tak pahunch jata

agar na milta mujhe sham mah-e-awara
yaqin mano main ghar raat tak pahunch jata

main apne bhai ko pardes kyun bulata 'aqil'
wo is tarah mere haalat tak pahunch jata
