ab apne gunahon pe wo sharminda kahan hai
insan bhala aadam ka numainda kahan hai

kuchh aur bure din na kahin dekhne pad jaen
is daur-e-farasat mein khirad zinda kahan hai

har chehra hai ikhlas ki tanwir se aari
ai shahr-e-mohabbat tera bashinda kahan hai

hum jis ke liye mazi mein khun rote rahe hain
ab soch rahe hain ki wo aainda kahan hai

har samt nazar aati hain chalti hui lashen
duniya mein bashar hai to magar zinda kahan hai
