maut ki pur-sukut basti ko

de ke ek zindagi ka nazrana

log apne gharon ko lauTe hain

sab ke chehre hain fart-e-gham se niDhaal

sab ki aanhken chhalak gai hain aaj

phir bhi sarhad mein shahr ki aa kar

hanste bachchon ko khelta pa kar

dekh kar zindagi ke hangame

aisa mahsus kar rahe hain sab

jaise afsurdagi ke sahra se

koi aawaz de ke kahta ho

maut ke intizar mein jina

maut se bhi baDi aziyyat hai

zindagi lakh aarzi ho magar

zindagi jagti haqiqat hai
