waise tumhein to aata nazar sab durust hai
chehre hain kyun udas agar sab durust hai

jale tane hue hain darichon mein shahr ke
kahta hai shahr-e-yar magar sab durust hai

hal yun hua hai tishnagi-e-tegh ka sawal
maqtal mein ho kisi ka bhi sar sab durust hai

maqsad to tajraba hai dawa ka shifa nahin
kuchh bhi mariz par ho asar sab durust hai

jannat tu apni dekh udhar kuchh kami na ho
dozakh ki fikr chhod idhar sab durust hai

ba-ikhtiyar jo bhi ho us ki yahi hai soch
hai is mein jo bhi aib o hunar sab durust hai

sansen ata hain jis ki wasael bhi us ki den
phir jaise zindagi ho basar sab durust hai

bas ye hua ki chhupte hi akhbar bik gaya
sachchi hai ya ki jhuti khabar sab durust hai
