Paas reh ke bhi bohat door hain dost,
apney halaat sey majboor hain dost,

tark e ulfat bhi nahi kar saktey,
saath deney sey bhi mazoor hain dost,

guftugu ke leye unwaan bhi nahi,
baat karney per bhi majboor hain dost,

ye charagh apney leye rehney dey,
teri raatain bhi tu be noor hain dost,

sabhi pu'ysh murda hain mehfil mein Shakeb,
main pareshan hain, ranjoor hain dost .
