sach to ye hai ki dida-war ho tum

dil ko harif-e-gardish-e-dauran kiye hue

ham-nashin aisi koi tadbir honi chahiye

meri fitrat haqiqat-ashna malum hoti hai

dil-ruba bhi wo dil-nawaz bhi hai

pachhtane se kya hasil pachhtane se kya hoga

rahzan nahin harif nahin ham-safar nahin

dil ko harif-e-naz kiye ja raha hun main

husn-e-surat dekh kar rang-e-tabiat dekh kar

KHudi kya aur KHudi ka muddaa kya

ek KHanuman-KHarab ki daulat kahen jise

ishrat-e-haal mein andesha-e-farda karna

nigah-e-shauq waqf-e-husn-e-fitrat hoti jati hai

dil nahin pahlu mein dard-e-dil nahin

qissa-e-husn nahin ishq ki rudad nahin
