aansuon ko na sazawar-e-malamat samjho
in charaghon ko shab-e-gham ki zarurat samjho

kaun jaane kise phir ghar ki ho dahliz nasib
aaj-kal ghar se nikalne ko bhi hijrat samjho

jazba-e-ishq nahin harf-o-bayan ka muhtaj
meri khamoshi ko izhaar-e-mohabbat samjho

dastan fasl-e-bahaaran ki sunane walo
jeb-o-daman pe likhi hai jo ibarat samjho

be-hisi sang-dili zulm baghawat nafrat
aise haalat ko aasar-e-qayamat samjho

ahl-e-zar sun nahin sakte kabhi aawaz-e-fughan
in khuda-wandon ko mahrum-e-samaat samjho

raaz-e-hasti se bhi uth jaenge sare parde
pahle ek zarra-e-khaki ki haqiqat samjho

zindagi ki hi alamat hai dhdakna dil ka
dard ko fitrat-e-insan ki amanat samjho

ajnabi shahr ki begana fazaon mein 'siraj'
koi pahchan le tum ko to ghanimat samjho
