umiden to wabasta hain abr-e-tar se
jo barse to barse na barse na barse

jahan kya hai aur is ki ranginiyan kya
ye puchho kisi dida-e-haq-nigar se

zaban o dahan se jo khulte nahin hain
wo khul jate hain raaz aksar nazar se

mera rasta karwan se alag hai
guzarna hai ek manzil-e-pur-khatar se

ye hai 'amn' insan ki pasti si pasti
gunah se bacha bhi to dozakh ke dar se
