shad uftad-e-har-nafas mat puchh
intizar tha hum ko KHushnuma bahaaron ka
ahd-e-mayusi jahan tak sazgar aata gaya
mustaqbil raushan-tar kahiye
zabt-e-nawak-e-gham se baat ban to sakti hai
waqt kya shai hai pata aap hi chal jaega
apne ji mein jo Than lenge aap
jo bhi apnon se ulajhta hai wo kar kya lega
khari baaten ba-andaz-e-suKHan kah dun to kya hoga
chaman ko aag lagane ki baat karta hun
chahte hain ghar buton ke dil mein hum
ba-pas-e-ehtiyat-e-arzu ye bar-ha hua
tare jo aasman se gire KHak ho gae
