than li to apne kya aghyar kya
hausle ko chin ki diwar kya

dekhiye tarikh shahid hai janab
ho zaban shirin to phir hathiyar kya

apne hamsae ki beti hai jawan
bechna pad jaega ghar-bar kya

kaam kuchh banta nahin tadbir se
hai mujhe man ki dua darkar kya

aakhirat par jin ki nazren jam gain
un ki nazron mein bhala sansar kya

ishq ki rahon pe chalne ke liye
rasta pur-khar kya dushwar kya

do girohon mein ladai roz roz
ganw ka mukhiya hai janib-dar kya

bhuke bachche har jagah so jaenge
dosto footpath kya akhbar kya

dhup hi qismat mein 'shamsi' hai agar
mehrban honge bhala ashjar kya
