bas yahi kuch hai meri auqaat mein

haadsaa dekhaa ye pichli raat mein
chaand ghul kar bah gayaa barsaat mein

qaid kar paaye na ham hi chaandni
kyun kami Dhundha kiye zulmaat mein

dil mera bin baat jaataa hai bikhar
yuN kami kuch bhi nahin haalaat mein

raah-e-ulfat mein haseen gulshan bhi the
kya hua, chaale mile ifraat mein

raah ki dushwaariyaan mat poochiye
aaiye, kuch door chaliye saath mein
 
ab na koi phool humko dijiye
bojh hota hai bahut saugaat mein

muskuraa detey hain unko dekh kar
bas yahi kuch hai meri auqaat mein

har Khushii ka daam ashkon se diyaa
kuch nahin mangaa kabhii Khairaat mein

jaane kyaa ahl-e-Khirad ko ho gayaa
Dhuundhtey haiN Khaamiyaan har baat mein

dekh kar insaan ko lagtaa nahiin
kuchh farishtey bhi hue is zaat mein

falsafey duniya pe haavii ho gaye
aa gayii lekin kamii jazbaat mein (NM)
