'vali' saani nahin daaud lekin — Mirza Daood Beg

yak qadam raah-e-dost hai 'daaud'
lekin afsos paa-e-bakht hai lang

sun nasihat miri ai zaahid-e-khushk
ashk ke aab bin vuzu mat kar

piv binaa dil miraa udaasi hai
gaah jogi hai gaah sanyaasi hai

sar kaaT kyuun jalaate hain raushan dilaan ke taiin
aahan-dili pe khalq ki khandaan huun misl-e-shama

shisha-e-aabru sambhaal ai dil
daur ulTaa chalaa hai duniyaa kaa

tujh hijr ki agan kuun bujhaane ai sang dil
koi aab-zan-rafiq ba-juz chashm-e-tar nahin
