ye raqibon ki hai sukhan-saazi — Mardan Ali Khan Rana

rasm ulTi hai khub-ruyon ki
dost jis ke bano vo dushman hai

ki riyaa se na shaikh ne tauba
mar gayaa vo gunaahgaar afsos

tere aate hi dekh raahat-e-jaan
chain hai sabr hai qaraar hai aaj

jis ko dekho vo nuur kaa buqa
ye paristaan hai ki london hai

pyaar ki baatein kijiye saahab
lutf sohbat kaa guftugu se hai

diyaa vo jo na thaa vahm-o-gumaan mein
bhalaa main aur kyaa maangun khudaa se

yaar main itnaa bhukaa huun
dhokaa bhi khaa letaa huun

ek parda saa hai fareb-e-nazar
ye bhi uTThe to dekhnaa kyaa hai

is qadar musalsal thiin shiddatein judaai ki
aaj pahli baar us se main ne bevafaai ki

mere baa'd vafaa kaa dhokaa aur kisi se mat karnaa
gaali degi duniyaa tujh ko sar meraa jhuk jaaegaa

kuchh to majburiyaan rahi hongi
yuun koi bevafaa nahin hotaa

mujh ko na dil pasand na vo bevafaa pasand
donon hain khud-gharaz mujhe donon hain naa-pasand
