chraag apne thakan ki koi safaai na de
vo teergi hai ke ab khwab tak dikhai na de

bohat satate hai rishte jo tuut jaate hai
khuda kisi ko bhi taufiq-e-aashnai na de
...
main saari umar andheron mein kaat sakta hun
mere diyon ko magar roshni parayi na de

agar yahi teri duniya ka haal hai maalik
toh meri qaid bhali hai mujhe rihaai na de

dua ye maangi hai sehme huye 'muarrik' ne
ke ab qalam ho khuda shurkh roshnai na de
