dekhen kitne chahne wale niklenge
ab ke hum bhi bhes badal ke niklenge

chahe jitna shahd pila do shakhon ko
nim ke patte phir bhi kadwe niklenge

pair ke chhaale puchh rahe hain rahbar se
ek raste se kitne raste niklenge

is lahje se baat nahin ban paegi
talwaron se kaise kante niklenge

takht chhinega darbanon ki sazish se
aur lutere taj pahan ke niklenge

ek aaina kitni shaklen dekhega
makkari ke kitne chehre niklenge

gird-o-pesh ko thoda raushan hone do
meri ghat mein mere sae niklenge

'tariq' teri qismat mein hi pyar nahin
is bairi ke bair bhi khatte niklenge
