Tera qurb hai na baada hai, kya kiya jaaye..

Tera qurb hai na baada* hai, kya kiya jaaye,
Phir aaj dukh bhi zeyadaa hai, kya kiya jaaye,

Kuch apne dost bhi turkish-badosh phirte hain,
Kuch apna dil bhi kushaada hai, kya kiya jaaye,

Na un se tark-e-taluq ki baat kar paayen,
Na humdumi ka iraada hai, kya kiya jaaye,

Woh meherbaan hai, magar dil ki hirss* bhi kam to ho,
Talab karam se zeyada hai, kya kiya jaaye,

Humain bhi arz-e-tamanna ka dhangg nahin aata,
Mizaaj-e-yaar bhi saada hai, kya kiya jaaye,

Salook-e-yaar se dil doobne laga hai Faraz,
Magar yeh mehfil-e-aaada hai, kya kiya jaaye..
