shauq se aap ye añgrezī davā bhī lete
ham faqīroñ se magar thoḌī duā bhī lete
is liye hañsne-hañsāne kī banā lī aadat
maiñ jo rotā to ka.ī log mazā bhī lete
tere bikne kī ḳhabar kaash ki pahle hotī
itnī daulat to mirī jaan kamā bhī lete
ab koī biis baras ba.ad ye ehsās huā
chāhte ham to kahīñ haath chhuḌā bhī lete
is qadar bojh thā dil par hameñ marnā hī paḌā
zahr thoḌā sā jo hotā to pachā bhī lete
