kaise kahe.n ke tujh ko bhii hamase hai vaastaa ko_ii
tuune to hamase aaj tak ko_ii gilaa nahii.n kiyaa

tuu bhii kisii ke baab me.n ahad-shikan ho gaaliban
mai.n ne bhii ek shakhs kaa qarz adaa nahii.n kiyaa

jo bhii ho tum pe mautariz us ko yahii javaab do
aap bahot shariif hai.n aap ne kyaa nahii.n kiyaa

jis ko bhii shekh-o-shaah ne hukm-e-khudaa diyaa qaraar
hamane nahii.n kiyaa vo kaam haa.n baa-khudaa nahii.n kiyaa

nisbat-e-ilm hai bahot haakim-e-vaqt ko aziiz
us ne to kaar-e-jehl bhii be-ulaamaa nahii.n kiyaa
