kisī pe koī bharosa kare to kaise kare
ki āñ.suoñ ke sivā aur koī kyā degā

bahut huā to tabassum ke chand phūloñ ko
nigāh-e-shoḳh ke hāthoñ se bevafā degā

chale to jaate ho rūThe hue magar sun lo
har ek moḌ pe koī tumheñ sadā degā

ajiib manzil-e-hairat meñ hai jahān-e-ḳharāb
ki jaise ham se divānoñ ko bhī sazā degā

hamāre sher meñ pinhāñ hai raushnī ġham kī
zarā suno to sar-e-shām ye ziyā degā

kisi pe koi bharosa kare to kaise kare
ki aansuon ke siwa aur koi kya dega

bahut hua to tabassum ke chand phulon ko
nigah-e-shoKH ke hathon se bewafa dega

chale to jate ho ruThe hue magar sun lo
har ek moD pe koi tumhein sada dega

ajib manzil-e-hairat mein hai jahan-e-KHarab
ki jaise hum se diwanon ko bhi saza dega

hamare sher mein pinhan hai raushni gham ki
zara suno to sar-e-sham ye ziya dega
