lale pade hain jaan ke jine ka ehtimam kar
jin mein ho kaif-e-zindagi bahr-e-khuda wo kaam kar

taur-e-hayat se uda jazba-e-zistan ki aag
jab kahin ja ke niyat-e-zindagi dawam kar

pahle ye soch dam ke todne ki sakat bhi hai
baad ko dil mein khwahish-e-dana-e-zer-e-dam kar

tujh ko teri hi aankh se dekh rahi hai kaenat
baat ye raaz ki nahin apna khud ehtiram kar

haif samajh raha hai tu apni jhijak ko mohtasib
mai-kada-e-hayat mein shauq se mai-ba-jam kar

naqsh-nawi nahin hai tu safha-e-rozgar par
mitne se gar nahin mafar mit hi ke apna nam kar

banda-e-khwahishat ko kahta hai kaun abd-e-hur
chahiye hurriyat agar dil ko 'amin' ghulam kar
