nahin hai insaniyat ke bare mein aaj bhi zehn saf jin ka
kaTti hai aarzu ke sahaare pe zindagi
dekh kar shair ne usko nukta-e-hikmat kaha
rang laegi hamari tang-dasti ek din
tum salamat raho qayamat tak
kahin fitrat badal sakti hai namon ke badalne se
shaiKH par hath uThane ke nahin hum qael
jab chali apnon ki gardan par chali
jahan-e-dard mein insaniyat ke nate se
shad ghair-mumkin hai shikwa-e-butan mujhse
rafta rafta meri al-gharzi asar karti rahi
