zinda rahna hai to sanson ka ziyan aur sahi
raushni ke liye thoda sa dhuan aur sahi

subh ki shart pe manzur hain raaten hum ko
phul khilte hon to kuchh roz khizan aur sahi

khwab tabir ka hissa hai to so kar dekhen
sach ke idrak mein ek shahr-e-guman aur sahi

wo barush aur main rota hun qalam se apne
dard to ek hain donon ke zaban aur sahi

kat gae apni hi mitti se to jaldi kya hai
ab zamin aur sahi aur makan aur sahi
