hazar rang jalal-o-jamal ke dekhe
aab-e-rawan hun rasta kyun na DhunDh lun
har talKH haqiqat ka izhaar bhi karna hai
ye kis hasin ne logon ko rok rakkha hai
to mil bhi jae to phir bhi tujhe talash karun
yaad aate ho kis saliqe se
mere liye wo shaKHs musibat bhi bahut hai
zalim pe azab ho gaya hun
pur-haul KHarabon se shanasai meri hai
kisi bhi kaam ka mera hunar nahin na sahi
moajaza koi dikhaun bhi to kya
ye silsila-e-sham-o-sahar yunhi nahin hai
phir koi hadisa hua hi nahin
chain ghar mein na kabhi tere nagar mein paun
ab to yun lab pe mere harf-e-sadaqat aae
