chalan raha nahin jine ka ab zamane mein
lage hue hain sabhi zindagi banane mein

koi kisi ko nahin marta sar-e-maqtal
ye kaam hota hai daftar mein kar-khane mein

hamare daur mein insaniyat ka haal hai ye
padi ho lash koi jaise sard-khane mein

mizaj-e-dahr ka karna na ahl-e-shar pe qayas
ki aise log to hote hain har zamane mein

hazaron sal ki tamir hai ye wahm ka but
hazaron sal lagenge ise girane mein
