chali hai aaj falak par meri fughan ki baat
gai kahan se kahan tak gham-e-nihan ki baat

kali kali mein na pad jae jaan to kahna
chaman mein chhed ke dekho meri zaban ki baat

wahi qafas ki zaban-bandiyan yahan bhi hain
hum aashiyan mein karen kaise aashiyan ki baat

meri jabin ke fasane ko bhulne wale
jo main bhi bhul gaya tere aastan ki baat

unhin se un ke sitam ki karen shikayat kya
hum aasman se karen jaur-e-asman ki baat

ada-e-jaur ko nind aa gai magar 'muslim'
hui na khatm abhi mere imtihan ki baat
