ya-rab kabhi qubul meri ye dua bhi ho
tu ne badan diya hai badan par qaba bhi ho

baithe hain dil mein le ke bulandi ki aarzu
lekin hamare khun mein paida huma bhi ho

tira-shabi ka raaz samajh paega wahi
jo aaftab ho ke kahin par bujha bhi ho

maghruriyat ki had ko kahin wo na ja lage
har aadmi mein hasb-e-zarurat ana bhi ho

sahra mein raqs karne se kuchh faeda nahin
ai abr aa idhar ki ye jangal hara bhi ho
