aae kya tera tasawwur dhyan mein
kuchh se kuchh hai aan hi ki aan mein

yan ishaaraat-e-ghalat par zindagi
wan ada hai aur hi saman mein

tegh-e-qatil hai rag-e-gardan meri
aab-e-paikan dam tan-e-be-jaan mein

ya to qatil ho gaya rahm-ashna
ya pade honge kahin maidan mein

ashk apne phir phira kar har taraf
aae aakhir tere hi daman mein

hae kaise kaise warasta-mizaj
sar-nigun dam band hain zindan mein

kaba aankhon mein samata hi nahin
kya buton ne kah diya kuchh kan mein

aankh ke uthte hi uthte kuchh na tha
hum chale arman hi arman mein

dair-o-kaba par nahin mauquf kuchh
aur hi kuchh shan hai har shan mein

girya-e-sad-sirri aur hum kam-hausla
kashti apni aa gai tufan mein

jannat o dozakh se kya ummid-o-bim
hasraten si hasraten hain jaan mein

khud-parasti aur islam-afrin
kaba-e-ashiq hai kufristan mein

ai 'qalaq' kal tak gada-e-dair the
aaj dawe ho gae iman mein
