dil sa wahshi kabhi qabu mein na aaya yaro

ab jahan main hun wahan mere siwa kuchh bhi nahin

duniya mein andheron ke siwa aur raha kya

hum apne haal par KHud ro diye hain

jo samne tha uske KHad-o-Khaal nahin yaad

na sahi jism magar KHak to uDti phirti

manzil pe ja ke KHak uDane se faeda

jis se do roz bhi khul kar na mulaqat hui

wo KHush-nasib the jinhen apni KHabar na thi

aazad tha mizaj to kyun ghar bana liya

chhoDne main nahin jata use darwaze tak

julte hain ek charag ki lau se kai charag

hum do qadam bhi chal na sake KHak-e-pa hue

tum kahe jate ho aisi fasl-e-gul aai nahin

raushan bhi karoge kabhi tariki-e-shab ko
