chubhenge khar to raston pe chalna chhod doge kya
kaho manzil ko pane ka irada chhod doge kya

mohabbat ki hai to anjam tak pahuncha bhi do is ko
dil-e-nakaam ko yunhi tadapta chhod doge kya

hamein bhi jaanib-e-manzil usi raste se jaana hai
hamare waste thoda sa rasta chhod doge kya

hazaron hadse hote hain logon roz sadkon par
gharon se maut ke dar se nikalna chhod doge kya

agar tum se kahe koi ki sher-o-shaeri chhodo
'ajay' tum 'mir' aur 'ghaalib' ko padhna chhod doge kya
