Rahti hai bandagi me zarurat gunah ki
Insan warna apna parastar ho na jaye 

Khilte hain dil mizah se jaise saba se gul 
Lekin kahin ye tanz se talwar ho na jaye 

Fursat mili jo takziya-e-nafs ke lye 
Wo sarf-e-nukta chiniye aghyar ho na jaye 

Daulat ne paya hai is zamane me ye urooj 
Tahzeeb nazr-e-dirham-o-deenaar ho jaye
