qafas walon ki bhi kya zindagi hai

main ye to nahin kahta ki bashar dawa-e-KHudai kar baiThe

kam se kam maut se aisi mujhe ummid nahin

ikka-dukka sada-e-zanjir

farsh-e-mai-KHana pe jalte chale jate hain charagh

ahbab se rakhta hun kuchh ummid-e-KHurafat

kahan har ek se bar-e-nashat uThta hai

ek fusun-saman nigah-e-ashna ki der thi

ye mana inqalab-e-zindagi mein lakh KHatre hain

main hun dil hai tanhai hai

mere dil se kabhi ghafil na hon KHuddam-e-mai-KHana

sunte hain ishq nam ke guzre hain ek buzurg

sar mein sauda bhi nahin dil mein tamanna bhi nahin

main aaj sirf mohabbat ke gham karunga yaad

parda-e-lutf mein ye zulm-o-sitam kya kahiye
