watan-nasib kahan apni qismaten hongi

zulf o ruKH ke sae mein zindagi guzari hai

ek makan aur bulandi pe banane na diya

isko pahli bar KHat likkha to dil dhaDka bahut

hamare dil pe jo zaKHmon ka bab likkha hai

koi bachne ka nahin sab ka pata jaanti hai

aankh bhar aai kisi se jo mulaqat hui

sitamgaron ke sitam ki uDan kuchh kam hai

tum ho mahfil mein to meri chashm-e-tar dekhega kaun

hum apne-ap ki pahchan le ke aae hain

gae the shauq se hum bhi ye duniya dekhne ko

zindagi jine ka pahle hausla paida karo

sahar ne andhi gali ki taraf nahin dekha

paDe hain zaKHm-KHurda mehrbani mangne wale
