ashk tham gae honge dil sambhal gaya hoga
jaane kaun saat phir dam nikal gaya hoga

itni aag to sahab pura ghar jala degi
aanch dhimi kar lije dudh ubal gaya hoga

mang ujadne walo god kya ujadoge
man gharib ho kar bhi lal pal gaya hoga

ajnabi khalaon mein dar se bichhadte hi
jal bichh gae honge war chal gaya hoga

na-murad rahon par laut kar bhi kya aate
be-ghari ke maron ka ghar badal gaya hoga

maut ke andhere mein waqt tham gaya hoga
raat bujh gai hogi din bhi dhal gaya hoga

bad-guman hathon mein kis ne di kaman aakhir
khud hi the nishane par tir chal gaya hoga

muztarib khayali mein kab khayal rahta hai
rotiyan pakane mein hath jal gaya hoga

ab ke sham aai hai jaane kin zaminon par
kaun se jahanon mein din nikal gaya hoga
