is dasht-e-halakat se guzar kaun karega
be-amn kharabon mein safar kaun karega

khurshid jo dubenge ubharne hi se pahle
is tirgi-e-shab ki sahar kaun karega

chhin jaen sar-e-rah jahan chadaren sar ki
us zulm ki nagri mein basar kaun karega

jis daur mein ho be-hunari wajh-e-siyaadat
us daur mein tashhir-e-hunar kaun karega

ud jaenge jangal ki taraf sare parinde
minara-e-larzan pe basar kaun karega

is khauf-e-musalsal mein guzar hogi to kyunkar
suli pe har ek raat basar kaun karega

muzhda mujhe jine ka bhala kis ne diya tha
mujh ko mere marne ki khabar kaun karega
