band kar baithe ho ghar radd-e-bala ki khatir
ek khidki to khuli rakhte hawa ki khatir

bhent chadhte rahe har daur mein insan kitne
fard-e-wahid ki faqat jhuti ana ki khatir

har zabardast ka har zulm saha hai main ne
zindagi mahz teri hirs-e-baqa ki khatir

dar jahannam ka na jannat ki hawas hai mujh ko
sar jhukaya hai faqat teri raza ki khatir

main siyah-bakht jise mar ke apnon ne 'jalil'
ghair ko dosh diya khun-baha ki khatir
