ajnabi dal na yun mujh par hiqarat ki nazar
main teri chahne wali hun zara der thahar

shauq-e-nazzara agar hai to har ek rah se guzar
aa tujhe apni nigahon se pila dun saghar

chand sikkon pe hua karta hai har shab ko nisar
mere sine ka gudaz aur jawani ki bahaar

jitna napak hai tan utna mera man to nahin
kyun thithakta hai jhijakta hai main nagan to nahin

mang leti hun zaban se koi rahzan to nahin
tere kumbe hi se main hun teri dushman to nahin

ye wo dar hai jahan mohtaj-o-ghani aate hain
nam kis kis ka main ab lun ki sabhi aate hain

wo jawan jin ki ragon mein hai baghawat raqsan
jin ke chehron pe hai nakaami-e-ulfat ka dhuan

jin ke har lafz mein nashtar hai nigahon mein sinan
kar-khanon mein ghute jate hain jin ke arman

zindagi-bhar jo mashinon ko lahu dete hain
aa ke kuchh der meri bazm mein hans lete hain

kitne rishiyon ki kuti mein mere kashane hain
kitne durweshon ke lab par mere afsane hain

meri har sans ke aaghosh mein but-khane hain
shaikh-sahab bhi mere husn ke diwane hain

jo meri bazm mein hai wo mera shaidai hai
koi hindu hai na muslim hai na isai hai

kal aur qaht ki sejon ko sajati nahin main
khun mazdur ka galiyon mein bahati nahin main

goliyan ahl-e-mohabbat pe chalati nahin main
panch-sala koi scheme banati nahin main

ahl-e-mahfil ko rulana nahin aata mujh ko
tex par tex lagana nahin aata mujh ko

main hun ek jhut ka bazar ye mana main ne
mere ghamze bhi hain talwar ye mana main ne

mere phulon mein hain sau khar ye mana main ne
main hun daulat ki talabgar ye mana main ne

sab jatan hain ye magar ek dil-e-pur-gham ke liye
jama karti nahin daulat ko main atom ke liye

mera mansha nahin aqwam-e-zubun ki taskhir
mera maqsad nahin pahnaun khirad ko zanjir

mera iman nahin ulfat ho rahin-e-tazir
mera arman nahin mar jae gharibon ka zamir

main ne ghalle ko godamon mein chhupaya hai kabhi
main ne dollar ke liye hath badhaya hai kabhi

mujh ko sarmae ke shoale ne jala dala hai
meri ismat ke charaghon ko bujha dala hai

mere sine se sharafat ko mita dala hai
mujh ko ek paikar-e-tafrih bana dala hai

mujh mein mariyam ka taqaddus tha to sita ka waqar
kar diya zar ne mujhe raunaq-e-husn-e-bazar

khair tu in meri baaton pe koi dhyan na kar
ma-siwa mere kisi ka kabhi arman na kar

apna dil aur kisi rah mein qurban na kar
aa bhi ja baam pe ab der meri jaan na kar

mere sine mein jo shoala hai na so jae kahin
ajnabi dar hai mujhe subh na ho jae kahin
