Khauf Ke Sail-e-musalsal Se Nikale Mujhe Koi
Khalq Ne Ek Manzar Nahin Dekha Bahut Dinon Se
Kahin Se Koi Harf-e-motabar Shayad Na Aae
Kahan Ke Nam O Nasab Ilm Kya Fazilat Kya
Junun Ka Rang Bhi Ho Shola-e-numu Ka Bhi Ho
Jaisa Hun Waisa Kyun Hun Samjha Sakta Tha Main
Inhin Mein Jite Inhin Bastiyon Mein Mar Rahte
Hum Apne Raftagan Ko Yaad Rakhna Chahte Hain
Hum Ahl-e-jabr Ke Nam-o-nasab Se Waqif Hain
Hijr Ki Dhup Mein Chhanw Jaisi Baaten Karte Hain
Harim-e-lafz Mein Kis Darja Be-adab Nikla
Hami Bhi Na The Munkir-e-ghaalib Bhi Nahin The
Gham-e-jahan Ko Sharmsar Karne Wale Kya Hue
Ghairon Se Dad-e-jaur-o-jafa Li Gai To Kya
Gali-kuchon Mein Hangama Bapa Karna Padega
Faza Mein Wahshat-e-sang-o-sinan Ke Hote Hue
Dukh Aur Tarah Ke Hain Dua Aur Tarah Ki
Dost Kya Khud Ko Bhi Pursish Ki Ijazat Nahin Di
Dayar-e-nur Mein Tira-shabon Ka Sathi Ho
Bikhar Jaenge Hum Kya Jab Tamasha Khatm Hoga
Basti Bhi Samundar Bhi Bayaban Bhi Mera Hai
Azab-e-wahshat-e-jaan Ka Sila Na Mange Koi
Azab Ye Bhi Kisi Aur Par Nahin Aaya
Ahl-e-mohabbat Ki Majburi Badhti Jati Hai
Ab Bhi Tauhin-e-itaat Nahin Hogi Humse
