khud ko pa-basta-e-zanjir kiye ja chup-chap
khwab sharminda-e-tabir kiye ja chup-chap

khama-e-ranj-o-alam se rukh-e-kam-maegi par
nusrat-e-jawedan tahrir kiye ja chup-chap

ye amal bais-e-taskin-e-junun bhi hoga
jazba-e-ishq ki tamir kiye ja chup-chap

gham-e-dauran ki aziyyat bhi to dil sahta hai
gham-e-jaanan ko bhi jagir kiye ja chup-chap

zakhm gahre to ba-zid shauq mere karta raha
us masihai ki tadbir kiye ja chup-chap

maqsad-e-zindagi khulta hi chala jaega
apne dil mein use taswir kiye ja chup-chap

shairi se hai 'khayal' us ko shaghaf sheron mein
apne jazbaat ko taskhir kiye ja chup-chap
