wo mujh ko mangta hai zebai chahta hai
mere khilaf mujh se paspai chahta hai

hogi qubul lekin ye shart lazmi hai
maqbuliyat ki khatir gahrai chahta hai

sahra ki chhanta hai wo khak khak zarra
ek ajnabi sa gham hai ruswai chahta hai

makr-o-fareb le kar har shakhs dekhta hai
dil sab se bhar gaya hai tanhai chahta hai

dil dekhta raha hai us par ka sitara
is par dekhne ko binai chahta hai

bikhre hue pade hain reze wajud ke hi
simte na phir kabhi ye harjai chahta hai

is nakhl-e-dostan pe gul hain khile hue jo
khushbu-e-gulsitan ki sachchai chahta hai
