tawajjoh un ki kya kam ho gai hai
bala-e-jaan shab-e-gham ho gai hai

khirad ka nur kya phaila jahan mein
dilon ki raushni kam ho gai hai

rahi hogi kabhi jannat ye duniya
magar ab to jahannam ho gai hai

atom-zadon ye mearaj-e-taraqqi
harif-e-ibn-e-adam ho gai hai

shikast-e-khwab tanzim-e-gulistan
dalil-e-azm-e-mohkam ho gai hai

khazaf ka mol jab se badh gaya hai
sadaf ki aabru kam ho gai hai

kabhi waqf-e-tarab thi zindagani
magar ab sirf matam ho gai hai
