bahut kuchh likha hai bahut kuchh likhenge
ye tai hai ki ahl-e-qalam hi rahenge

nahin hum nasibon se mayus bilkul
jo hum ban na pae wo bachche banenge

ganwae hain auqat apne jinhon ne
wahi umr bhar hath malte rahenge

rahega jo yunhi sitam ka tasalsul
to tang aa ke hum bhi baghawat karenge

agar adl se nasl mahrum hogi
to phir dekhna log rahzan banenge

jo kahte hain kahte rahen ahl-e-duniya
magar hum to 'naqid' sada sach kahenge
