zaban hai magar be-zabanon mein hai

wo sar-phiri hawa thi sambhalna paDa mujhe

kya KHaridoge chaar aane mein

har rahguzar mein kahkashan chhoD jaunga

dur baiTha hua tanha sab se

dil mein be-nam si KHushi hai abhi

jang jari hai KHandanon mein

wo ek lafz jo be-sada jaega

dard ka shahr kahin karb ka sahra hoga

kahin salib kahin karbala nazar aae

KHud apne sath safar mein rahe to achchha hai

unki be-ruKHi mein bhi iltifat shamil hai

basar hona bahut dushwar sa hai
