saath rone na sahī giit sunāne aate
tum musībat meñ mirā haath baTāne aate
umr bhar jaag ke āñkhoñ kī hifāzat kī hai
jaane kab log mire ḳhvāb churāne aate
khīñch laa.ī hai tire dasht kī vahshat varna
kitne dariyā hī mirī pyaas bujhāne aate
saath to ḳhair nibhānā tumheñ aatā hī nahīñ
kam se kam raah meñ dīvār uThāne aate
ḳhauf aatā hai bayābāñ kī taraf jaane se
varna kitne hī mire haath ḳhazāne aate
