bhare zakhm phir taza dam dekhte hain
ajab doston ke karam dekhte hain

koi lashkar-e-fatehin ja raha hai
fazaon mein unche alam dekhte hain

khayal-e-sanam bhi jamal-e-sanam hai
ab is taur ru-e-sanam dekhte hain

bani qatl gahen ye galiyan ye kuche
ajab maut ka raqs hum dekhte hain

kahin pal rahe hain amiron ke kutte
kahin muflisi ke sitam dekhte hain

utar kar falak se sitare bhi 'shafi'
teri zulf ka pech-o-kham dekhte hain
