chaak kar kar ke gareban roz sina chahiye
zindagi ko zindagi ki tarah jina chahiye

khud-kushi ke tal gae lamhe to socha muddaton
ye khayal aaya hi kyun tha zahr pina chahiye

mashwara maujon se lun us par jaana hai mujhe
na-khudaon ka to kahna hai safina chahiye

ba-saliqa log bhi hain be-saliqa log bhi
kis se kab miliye kahan miliye qarina chahiye

jab uthe tufan to koi chiz zad mein ho 'shakil'
har bulandi ke liye ek aabgina chahiye
