tumhaari yaad mein jite tumhaara dam bharte
ye kya ki umr ganwa di hai naukri karte

na ja raqib ki mahfil mein raat ko tanha
ye dekh panw pe hum tere hath hain rakhte

kuchh is liye bhi use dukh mein meri yaad aai
charagh sham se pahle jala nahin karte

pata lagao khazana kahan hai dafn ki main
qile mein pahunch to jaunga marte marte

wo kya ladenge hamare huquq ki khatir
jo log kasa-e-darwesh tak nahin bharte

hamari aankh se aansu bhi gir rahe honge
ki jin dinon mein darakhton se pat hain jhadte

agar tu hum se nigahen na pherta hamdam
to hum bhi ishq kisi se na dusra karte

bahisht chhod ke duniya ko fauqiyat dega
rawana hona hai jis ne charagh ke bujhte
