rukti nahin hai gardish-e-dauran kaha na tha
uttha karenge nit-nae tufan kaha na tha

badhta rahega hausla-e-jabr-o-ikhtiyar
tadpa karenge zulm se insan kaha na tha

har roz honge qatl ke saman nae nae
har sham hogi sham-e-ghariban kaha na tha

jari raha jo silsila-e-zabt-e-arzu
lau de uthegi sozish-e-pinhan kaha na tha

tazlil-e-e'tibar-o-yaqin honge harf-o-saut
lutti rahegi daulat-e-iman kaha na tha

duniya se munsifi ki tawaqqo fuzul hai
baithe rahoge hashr-ba-daman kaha na tha
