log har mod pe ruk ruk ke sambhalte kyun hain
itna darte hain to phir ghar se nikalte kyun hain

mai-kada zarf ke mear ka paimana hai
khali shishon ki tarah log uchhalte kyun hain

mod hota hai jawani ka sambhalne ke liye
aur sab log yahin aa ke phisalte kyun hain

nind se mera talluq hi nahin barson se
khwab aa aa ke meri chhat pe tahalte kyun hain

main na jugnu hun diya hun na koi tara hun
raushni wale mere nam se jalte kyun hain
