wasl ka us ke dil-e-zar tamannai hai
na mulaqat hai jis se na shanasai hai

qata ummid ne dil kar diye yaksu sad shukr
shakl muddat mein ye allah ne dikhlai hai

quwwat-e-dast-e-khudai hai shakebai mein
waqt jab aa ke pada hai yahi kaam aai hai

dar nahin ghair ka jo kuchh hai so apna dar hai
hum ne jab khai hai apne hi se zak khai hai

nashe mein chur na hon jhanjh mein makhmur na hon
pand ye pir-e-kharabaat ne farmai hai

nazar aati nahin ab dil mein tamanna koi
baad muddat ke tamanna meri bar aai hai

baat sachchi kahi aur ungliyan utthin sab ki
sach mein 'haali' koi ruswai si ruswai hai
