jo dil mein khun-e-tamanna kiya na karte hum
to misl-e-shola bhadak kar jala na karte hum

agar na kashmakash-e-wahshat-e-junun hoti
to chaak jaib-o-gareban kiya na karte hum

agar na khatir-e-sayyaad par garan hote
to yun tadap ke qafas se uda na karte hum

umid naqsh pe aane ki tere gar hoti
to apne jine ki hargiz dua na karte hum

na hote tere taghaful ke hum agar kushte
to zer-e-tegh kabhi dam liya na karte hum

jo dagh-e-sina-e-ashiq na mashali hota
to aaftab se nisbat diya na karte hum
