baji ghanti jo chhutti ki to hanste gate hum nikle
kisi mote se maula-bakhsh ke sah kar sitam nikle

batao hath par padne se us ka haal kya hoga
nazar aa jate hain jis bed ke hum sab ka dam nikle

kabhi jab bhul kar baste ko apne khol kar baithe
phati niklin kitaben aur sab tute qalam nikle

natija-gah se nikle to is haalat mein hum nikle
ki le kar apne dil mein fail ho jaane ka gham nikle

bahana tang ki taklif ka aisa kiya hum ne
ki langdate chale aur gir pade jab do qadam nikle

nikala mumtahin ne naql karne se to bole hum
bahut be-abru ho kar tere kamre se hum nikle
