na apne zabt ko ruswa karo sata ke mujhe

kis haal mein ho kaise ho kya karte ho bismil

ek din wo din the rone pe hansa karte the hum

ye kah ke deti jati hai taskin shab-e-firaq

kahan qarar hai kahne ko dil qarar mein hai

sauda wo kya karega KHaridar dekh kar

allah tere hath hai ab aabru-e-shauq

dastan puri na hone pai

kahan tamam hui dastan bismil ki

tum sun ke kya karoge kahani gharib ki

ugal na sang-e-malamat KHuda se Dar naseh

jurat-e-shauq to kya kuchh nahin kahti lekin

ek ghalat sajde se kya hota hai waiz kuchh na puchh
