aaj kyun chup hain tere saudai
hosh aaya unhen ki maut aai

apne arman aap ke wade
in khilaunon se umr bhalai

pine walon ki khair ho yarab
teri rahmat hui ghata chhai

fikr-e-sud-o-ziyan ki nazr hue
wo gham-e-ashiqi wo ruswai

justuju ki hui to yun takmil
zindagi maut ki khabar lai

'soz' jine ki aarzu mein hum
ban gae maut ke tamannai
