gali-kuchon mein hangama bapa karna paDega

dayar-e-nur mein tira-shabon ka sathi ho

gham-e-jahan ko sharmsar karne wale kya hue

umid-o-bim ke mehwar se haT ke dekhte hain

KHazana-e-zar-o-gauhar pe KHak Dal ke rakh

hum ahl-e-jabr ke nam-o-nasab se waqif hain

azab-e-wahshat-e-jaan ka sila na mange koi

sitaron se bhara ye aasman kaisa lagega

jaisa hun waisa kyun hun samjha sakta tha main

ghairon se dad-e-jaur-o-jafa li gai to kya

basti bhi samundar bhi bayaban bhi mera hai

koi muzhda na bashaarat na dua chahti hai

hum apne raftagan ko yaad rakhna chahte hain

ye qarz-e-kaj-kulahi kab talak ada hoga

kuchh bhi nahin kahin nahin KHwab ke iKHtiyar mein
