pur-khauf zulmaton se hamein phir nikaliye
ab ke jo ho sake kai suraj uchhaaliye

shamil kisi ka hath hai meri uthan mein
ye bel jo chadhi to koi aasra liye

pata hun ek shakh se tuta gira hua
phirti rahegi jaane kahan tak hawa liye

inkar pyas aag lahu tan daridgi
kufe se ho nasib palatna to kya liye

har bar apni chup se ulajhte raha kiye
aasan nahin hain harf-o-nawa ke siwa liye

mumkin hai jism tab-e-gohr dil ka ban sake
ye khwab hai to aankh ki sipi mein paliye

shayad kisi khayal ki tah mein chhupe milen
sahil hare-bhare ki samundar ne aa liye
