ye ghar sajaya hai tum ne janab kis ke liye
ye khar kis ke liye hain gulab kis ke liye

agar hai pyas bujhani to justuju bhi karo
bacha ke kis ne rakhi hai sharab kis ke liye

kitab-e-zist ko yakja karun to kaise karun
ye bab kis ke liye hai wo bab kis ke liye

jahan mein koi bhi ahl-e-nazar nahin milta
agar karun bhi to chehra kitab kis ke liye

sawal aaj bhi ye la-jawab hai 'aslam'
hua hai dil mera khana-kharab kis ke liye
