Be-faiz rafaqat mein samar kis ke liye tha
jab dhoop thi qismat tu shajar kis ke liye tha
Pardes mein suna tha, tu chhat kis liye daali
baher hi nikalna tha tu ghar kis ke liye tha
Jiss khak se phoota hai ussi khak ki khushboo
pehchaan na paya tu huner kis ke liye tha
Aaye madar-e-geeti! teri hayrat bhi baja hai
tere hi na kaam aya tu sar kis ke liye tha..
Youn shaam ki dehshat se sar-e-dasht-e-irada
rukhna tha, tu phir sara safar kis ke liye tha
jab dhoop thi qismat tu shajar kis ke liye tha
Pardes mein suna tha, tu chhat kis liye daali
baher hi nikalna tha tu ghar kis ke liye tha
Jiss khak se phoota hai ussi khak ki khushboo
pehchaan na paya tu huner kis ke liye tha
Aaye madar-e-geeti! teri hayrat bhi baja hai
tere hi na kaam aya tu sar kis ke liye tha..
Youn shaam ki dehshat se sar-e-dasht-e-irada
rukhna tha, tu phir sara safar kis ke liye tha
