bhatak rahi hai andhere mein zindagi to nahin
wo jis ko dhund raha hun kahin wahi to nahin

dikhai deta hai ab bhi dhuan dhuan har su
lagi thi aag jo ghar mein abhi bujhi to nahin

bhatak rahi hai jo karb-o-alam ke sahra mein
use pukar ke dekho wo zindagi to nahin

wo lash dekh ke dushman ki ro diya aakhir
hazar kuchh ho ye insaniyat mari to nahin

nahin hai daulat-e-duniya to gham nahin 'faruq'
mata-e-dard ka hum se koi dhani to nahin
