dard paya hai to ek dard aashna bhi chahiye
pattharon ke is nagar mein aaina bhi chahiye

jis ki mahfil mein sunai din qayamat ke huruf
ek aisa paikar-e-saut-o-sada bhi chahiye

main to wo insan hun jis ki wafa se hai gharaz
baz logon ko magar dad-e-wafa bhi chahiye

khak-dan par zulm hai bechaargi hai khauf hai
charkh par ek malik-e-arz-o-saman bhi chahiye

in dinon yun to hai sab ko sang ho jaane ka shauq
aaina-khane mein rahne ki jagah bhi chahiye

rut badalne se nahin 'bedi' kisi ko bhi gharaz
sab ko lekin kuchh alag aab-o-hawa bhi chahiye
