kaisaa chalan hai gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar kaa 
shikavaa har ek ko hai Gam-e-rozagaar kaa 

TuuTii jo aas jal gaye palko.n pe sau chiraaG  
nikharaa kuchh aur rang shab-e-intazaar kaa 

is zindagii ii ham se haqiiqat na puuchhiye 
ik jabr jis ko naam diyaa iKhtiyaar kaa 

ye kaun aa gayaa merii bazm-e-Khayaal me.n 
puuchaa mizaaj kisane dil-e-soGavaar kaa 

dekho phir aaj ho na jaaye kahii.n Khuun-e-aitamaad 
dekho na TuuT jaaye fusuu.N aitabaar kaa
