hum bhi machis ki tiliyon se the

baDe gharon mein rahi hai bahut zamane tak

chahta hun main tashaddud chhoDna

tauq-e-badan utar ke phenka zamin se dur

rail dekhi hai kabhi sine pe chalne wali

apni aahaT pe chaunkta hun main

rok do ye raushni ki tez dhaar

wo mere lams se mahtab ban chuka hota

aisi hi ek shab mein kisi se mila tha dil

jizya wasul kijiye ya shahr ujaDiye

Dar Dar ke jagte hue kaTi tamam raat

khil rahe hain mujh mein duniya ke sabhi nayab phul

ro ro ke log kahte the jati rahegi aankh

faqir log rahe apne apne haal mein mast

tum to sardi ki hasin dhup ka chehra ho jise
