Khud ko itna bhi mat bachaya kar

Khudko itna bhi mat bachaya kar

Baarishe ho to bhig jaaya kar 

Kaam le kuchh haseen hotho se, 

Baato baato me muskuraya kar, 

Chand laa kar koi nahi dega, 

Apne chehre se jagmagaya kar, 

Dhoop mayus laut jati hai, 

Chhat pe Kapde Sukhane aaya kar 

Kon kehta hai dil milaane ko, 

Kam-az-kam aankh to milaya kar.

-Saifullah Khan 'Khalid'
