adu ka zikr nahin doston ka nam nahin
zaban pe aaj koi harf-e-intiqam nahin

dar-o-daricha ke dagh-o-charagh apni jagah
mujhe jala ke na guzri to sham sham nahin

chalo thahar nahin sakte guzar to sakte ho
kahin kahin se shikasta hai dil tamam nahin

jise pukarte phirte hain ku-ba-ku hum log
wo ek ahd-e-tamanna hai sirf nam nahin

ye khak-dan-e-ta'alluq hai pesh-o-pas mein na ja
husul-e-atish-o-ab-o-hawa mudam nahin

kai bujhe hue sinon ko aag hai darkar
zaban pe nam tumhaara barae-nam nahin
