bhuki hai zamin bhuk ugalti hi rahegi
ye bhuk mere pet mein palti hi rahegi

jiwan bhi mera dasht hai maskan bhi mera dasht
honton pe mere pyas machalti hi rahegi

dil mein nahin ab pas raha chain sukun ka
ek aag si dil mein hai ubalti hi rahegi

hasti ke ujadne ka bhala dukh mujhe kyun ho
ye thokaren kha kha ke sambhalti hi rahegi

chehre nae andaz nae taur nae hain
duniya hai ye sau rang badalti hi rahegi

mazkur karen kya dil-e-majbur ka 'naqid'
ek huk hai sine se nikalti hi rahegi
