Maine muh ko kafan me chopa jab liya,
Tab unhe mujhse milne ki fursat mili,
Hal-e-dil poochne jab wo ghar se chale,
Raste me unhe meri maiyyat mili..
Wo zafa kar ke bhi kabil-e-qadra hai,
Mujhko meri wafa ka sila ye mila,
Jite ji mai to rushwa raha umra bhar,
Baad marne ke bhi mujhko tohmat mili..
Meri maiyyat ko diwane ki laash hai,
Aisa kah kar shahar me ghumaya gaya,
Is tarah unko shohrat khuda ki kasam,
Meri rushwaiyo ki badawlat milli..
Eak hi shaakh par saaze do gul khile,
Chal kismat ki lekin jara dekhiye,
Eak gul qabar par meri sharminda hai,
Eak ko unki zulfo me izzat mili..
