aise rakhti hai hamein teri mohabbat zinda
jis tarah jism ko sanson ki hararat zinda

shauq ki rah mein ek aisa bhi pal aata hai
jis mein ho jati hai sadiyon ki riyazat zinda

roz ek khauf ki aawaz pe hum uthte hain
roz hoti hai dil o jaan mein qayamat zinda

ab bhi anjaan zaminon ki kashish khinchti hai
ab bhi shayad hai lahu mein kahin hijrat zinda

taat-e-jabr bahut aam hui jati thi
ek inkar ne ki rasm-e-baghawat zinda

hum to mar kar bhi na baatil ko salami denge
kaise mumkin hai ki kar len teri baiat zinda

hum mein soqraat to koi nahin phir bhi 'shahbaz'
zahr pi lete hain rakhte hain riwayat zinda
