ye KHun rang-e-chaman mein badal bhi sakta hai

dur tak dil mein dikhai nahin deta koi

aandhiyon ka kaam chalna hai gharaz is se nahin

kaTi hai gham ki raat baDe ehtiram se

lai hai kis maqam pe ye zindagi mujhe

humne dekha hai zamane ka badalna lekin

kinaron se mujhe ai naKHudao dur hi rakkho

ek tahrir jo uske hathon ki thi

nasheman hi ke luT jaane ka gham hota to kya gham tha

phirta hun apna naqsh-e-qadam DhunDta hua

ban rahe hain sath-e-dil par daere

roke se kahin hadsa-e-waqt ruka hai

gham se mansub karun dard ka rishta de dun

us shajar ke sae mein baiTha hun main

kya isi waste sincha tha lahu se apne
