badle na gae hum se to haalat abhi tak
karte hi rahe log sawalat abhi tak

ek hum ki kahin aashiyan tamir na kar pae
wo mahw ba-tamir-e-mahallat abhi tak

ek bar hi duniya se zara dil jo lagaya
daman se hain lipti hui aafat abhi tak

karti rahin insan ko insan se bad-zan
tahzib-e-nau ye teri khurafat abhi tak

milta hi nahin koi hamein puchhne wala
sine mein daba rakkhe hain jazbaat abhi tak

dil tut sa jata hai tadap jata hun us dam
yaad aate hain rah rah ke wo lamhat abhi tak

ek hum hi 'amin' waqt ka paigham na samjhe
mumkin hai badal jate ye haalat abhi tak
