masarraton ki saaton mein ikhtisar kar liya
hayat-e-gham ko hum ne aur sazgar kar liya

qasam jab us ne khai hum ne e'tibar kar liya
zara si der zindagi ko khush-gawar kar liya

wo aaj chahte the baat kuchh badhe magar wo hum
ki baat baat par sukut ikhtiyar kar liya

kaho ki mehr-e-subh-tab aae ho ke be-naqab
koi bas aa chuka kisi ka intizar kar liya

qadam qadam pe hadse qadam qadam pe inqilab
hamein to dekho zindagi ka e'tibar kar liya
