jism kā bojh uThā.e hue chalte rahiye
dhuup meñ barf kī mānind pighalte rahiye
ye tabassum to hai chehroñ kī sajāT ke liye
varna ehsās vo dozaḳh hai ki jalte rahiye
ab thakan paañv kī zanjīr banī jaatī hai
raah kā ḳhauf ye kahtā hai ki chalte rahiye
zindagī bhiik bhī detī hai to qīmat le kar
roz fariyād kā andāz badalte rahiye
