aise mein zakhm-e-dil ki bhala kya dawa mile
jitne masih the sabhi qatil se ja mile

wo waqt hai ki gham ka chhupana bhi hai muhaal
aansu jo ponchhta hun to daman jala mile

ye shahr-e-zindagi hai main kaise yaqin karun
aakhir kahin charagh to jalta hua mile

kab tak yunhi bhatakte phiren rahrawan-e-zist
darwaza zindagi ka kahin to khula mile

kashti meri shikasta sahi kaise chhod dun
tufan mein nakhuda bhi jahan dubta mile

mazhab ke tajiron ka ab aalam na puchhiye
ye bech den khuda ko kahin gar khuda mile
