apna chehra dikha gain lahren

kyun bagulon ki justuju kije

chaTanon ki tarah hain hum magar TuTe hue bhi hain

maine pyala abhi piya hi nahin

gham kam hain zindagi mein zara aur paliye

chale to rah mein chubhne lage the sannaTe

tera sath paen kahan ye khule par

bhul jaane ko hai jahan sara

nahin sharik azabon ka jaan-e-jaan koi

is par na ja ki dasht si viran hain putliyan

andhi basti mein ek ajuba hun

lo aa gaya hai koh-e-nida kan na dharo

lahu mein Dube sitam-rasida figar chehre

koi wasta moatabar bhi nahin hai

kahan se laen hikayat-e-nau kahan hai naya
