yahan jo ped the apni jadon ko chhod chuke
qadam jamati hui sab ruton ko chhod chuke

koi tasawwur-e-zindan bhi ab nahin baqi
hum us zamane ke sab doston ko chhod chuke

bhatak rahe hain ab udte hue ghubar ke sath
musafir apne sabhi raston ko chhod chuke

nikal chuke hain tere roz o shab se ab aage
dinon ko chhod chuke hum shabon ko chhod chuke

na jaane kis liye hijrat pe wo hue majbur
parinde apne sabhi ghonslon ko chhod chuke

jo mar gae unhen zindan se nikalenge
nahin ki ahl-e-qafas qaidiyon ko chhod chuke

agarche aisa nahin lag raha hai aisa magar
ki rahi sare 'zafar' rahbaron ko chhod chuke
