kore kaghaz pe mera naqsh utare koi
ek mubham sa main khaka hun ubhaare koi

nakhuda bhi to mere kaam yahan aa na saka
aur par utra hai lahron ke sahaare koi

ek muddat se khamoshi hi khamoshi hai wahan
chup ke sahra mein mera nam pukare koi

is jahan mein to sabhi dast-e-nigar hain 'shahid'
samne kis ke yahan hath pasare koi
