shaam tak band rahata hai kamara mira
aur kamare mein tanha khilauna mira
din ko ujalee rida odh leta hoon main
dekhana raat ko phir tamaasha mira
sach kaha tha sabhee mujh se naaraaz hain
ab kisee se nahin rishta-naata mira
apane sheron pe mujh ko bada fakhr hai
jaane kya gul khilaega charcha mira
do baras ka hoon tifl-e-kitaabee ganee
ho gaya kitana bhaaree hai basta mira
