Nigah-e-faqr

Nigah-e-faqr main shaan-e-sikandari kya hai?

Khiraaj ki jo gada ho, wo qaiseri kya hai?

Falaq nay ki hai ata un ko khaajgi kay jinhain

Khabar nahin rawish-e-banda parwari kya hai?

Kissey nahin hai tamanna-e-sarwari lekin

Khudi ki mout ho jis main, wo sarwari kya hai?

Buton say tujh ko umeedain, Khuda say no meedi

Mujhey bata tou sahi aur kaafri kya hai?
