hum ko manzur tumhaara jo na parda hota
ham ko manzūr tumhārā jo na pardā hotā
saarā ilzām sar apne hī na aayā hotā
dost-ahbāb bhī be-gāne nazar aate haiñ
kaash ik shaḳhs ko itnā bhī na chāhā hotā
muft māñgā thā kisī ne so use baḳhsh diyā
aisā sastā bhī na thā dil jise bechā hotā
jaan kar ham ne kiyā ḳhud ko ḳharāb-o-rusvā
varna ham vo the farishtoñ ne bhī puujā hotā
ahl-e-duniyā ko bahut ham se bhī ummīdeñ thiiñ
zindagī tujh se magar apnā na jhagḌā hotā
nāseho ham ko bhī anjām-e-junūñ hai mālūm
us ko samjhāo jo ye sab na samajhtā hotā
vo ḳhirad-mand vo bā-hosh 'vahīd' aaj kahāñ
milne vāloñ se kabhī tum ne ye pūchhā hotā
hum ko manzur tumhaara jo na parda hota
sara ilzam sar apne hi na aaya hota
dost-ahbab bhi be-gane nazar aate hain
kash ek shaKHs ko itna bhi na chaha hota
muft manga tha kisi ne so use baKHsh diya
aisa sasta bhi na tha dil jise becha hota
jaan kar hum ne kiya KHud ko KHarab-o-ruswa
warna hum wo the farishton ne bhi puja hota
ahl-e-duniya ko bahut hum se bhi ummiden thin
zindagi tujh se magar apna na jhagDa hota
naseho hum ko bhi anjam-e-junun hai malum
us ko samjhao jo ye sab na samajhta hota
wo KHirad-mand wo ba-hosh 'wahid' aaj kahan
milne walon se kabhi tum ne ye puchha hota
