haqiqaton ka jalal denge sadaqaton ka jamal denge

zindagi mail-e-fariyaad-o-fughan aaj bhi hai

kuchh roz se hum shahr mein ruswa na hue hain

bahut dushwar samjhana hai gham ka

ye kaisi bahaar-e-chaman aai ki chaman mein

ek ghar bhi salamat nahin ab shahr-e-wafa mein

wo jo shaeri ka sabab hua wo muamla bhi ajab hua

mai-kade ki taraf chala zahid

tujhe sang-dil ye pata hai kya ki dukhe dilon ki sada hai kya?

meri shaeri mein na raqs-e-jam na mai ki rang-fishaniyan

main mohabbat na chhupaun tu adawat na chhupa

hum bhi kuchh apne dil ki girah kholne ko hain

mera haal puchh ke ham-nashin mere soz-e-dil ko hawa na de

kya sitam hai ki wo zalim bhi hai mahbub bhi hai

suna hai hamein bewafa tum kaho ho
