sazaa kaa haal sunaaye jazaa kii baat kare.n
Khudaa milaa ho jinhe.n vo Khudaa kii baat kare.n

[jazaa = result of good deeds]

unhe.n pataa bhii chale.n aur vo Khafaa bhii na ho
is ehatiyaat se kyaa mudd'aa kii baat kare.n

hamaare ahad kii tahaziib me.n qabaa hii nahii.n
agar qabaa ho to band-e-qabaa kii baat kare.n

[qabaa = garment]

har ek daur kaa mazhab nayaa Khudaa laayaa
kare.n to ham bhii magar kis Khudaa kii baat kare.n

vafaa_shiyaar ka_ii hai.n ko_ii hasii.n bhii to ho
chalo phir aaj usii bevafaa kii baat kare.n
