dosti apni jagah aur dushmani apni jagah

sanson ki jal-tarang par naghma-e-ishq gae ja

kitne jumle hain ki jo ru-posh hain yaron ke bich

rah-e-ishq mein gham-e-zindagi ki bhi zindagi safari rahi

ahl-e-dil ke waste paigham ho kar rah gai

arz-e-dakan mein jaan to dilli mein dil bani

dagh ke sher jawani mein bhale lagte hain

pattharon ke des mein shishe ka hai apna waqar

raat ki raat bahut dekh li duniya teri

subh hain sajde mein hum to sham saqi ke huzur

un ko sajda kar liya mahbub ki taswir jaan

KHadim-e-urdu-zaban hun shaeri maktab mera

naqsh tikhe banki chitwan dant moti ki qatar

gham ki tarik fazaon se nikalne na diya

aasra jab bhi koi TuTe hai
