zindagi se jo wasta rakhiye
mar ke jine ka hausla rakhiye

milne-julne ka silsila rakhiye
yun na apnon se fasla rakhiye

us ke dar tak faqat jo le jae
ek aisa bhi rasta rakhiye

shahr-e-dil ke hamin hain shahzade
kuchh to hum se bhi rabta rakhiye

wasl ki aas to hai nazuk shai
jaise pani ka bulbula rakhiye

dil ki dhadkan se mat khani hai
yar logon se kya gila rakhiye

haq-parasti ke sath nazron mein
karbala ka bhi marka rakhiye
