maqtal meñ chamaktī huī talvār the ham log
jaañ nazr-guzārī pe bhī tayyār the ham log
ham ahl-e-sharaf log the is shahr meñ lekin
rusvā bhī sar-e-kūcha-o-bāzār the ham log
kaam aate na the ham ko bas ik kār-e-junūñ ke
duniyā kī nigāhoñ meñ to bekār the ham log
is nisbat-e-haq meñ ye sharaf kam to nahīñ hai
zindīq bhī kāfir bhī gunahgār the ham log
us ko bhī to kuchh husn ne maġhrūr kiyā thā
kuchh apnī anā meñ bhī giraftār the ham log
kuchh yādoñ ne us kī hameñ nāshād kiyā hai
kuchh apnī tabī.at se bhī bezār the ham log
ab tū ne bhī apnāne se inkār kiyā hai
a vahshat-e-shab tere azā-dār the ham log
a 'shāhid'-e-ḳhush-baḳht 'yagānā' se ye kah do
kahte haiñ ki 'ġhālib' ke taraf-dār the ham log
