tumhein mil kar bhi aksar dil ke arman dil mein rahte hain
tumhaare chahne wale badi mushkil mein rahte hain

use nashad karne ka use barbaad karne ka
gila hai to unhin se hai jo mere dil mein rahte hain

razakaran-e-ulfat maut se hargiz nahin darte
hamein dekho ki har dam kucha-e-qatil mein rahte hain

junun ki kham-kari chain lene hi nahin deti
hum un ko dhundte hain jo hamare dil mein rahte hain

talash-e-yar ki fursat agar hogi to kar lenge
abhi to raat din hum justuju-e-dil mein rahte hain

kabhi to ghaur kar len qissa-e-khizr-o-sikandar par
wo rahraw jo talash-e-rahbar-e-kaamil mein rahte hain

hamin ko ai khuda kuchh ho gaya hai ya zamane ko
hamare hi gile-shikwe har ek mahfil mein rahte hain

dil-e-bimar ki haalat na badli hai na badlegi
hamare chaaragar kyon sai-e-la-hasil mein rahte hain

dil-e-nadan ki aadat se bahut bezar hun 'sahir'
ye hazrat har-ghadi ek fikr-e-la-hasil mein rahte hain
