wafa-e-dostan kaisi jafa-e-dushmanan kaisi
na puchha ho kisi ne jis ko us ki dastan kaisi

kuchh aisa ehtiram-e-dard-e-ulfat hai mere dil ko
khamoshi hukmaran hai aah o fariyaad o fughan kaisi

kisi ko fikr-e-azadi nahin is qaid-e-rangin se
dil-e-alam pe hai chhai hui mohr-e-butan kaisi

bhula hi dete hain us ko jo guzra bazm-e-alam se
hai sab ko apni apni fikr yaad-e-raftagan kaisi

tumhaara muddaa hi jab samajh mein kuchh nahin aaya
to phir mujh par nazar dali ye tum ne mehrban kaisi

abhi hote agar duniya mein 'dagh'-e-dehlawi zinda
to wo sab ko bata dete hai 'wahshat' ki zaban kaisi
