dekhen mahshar mein un se kya thahre
the wahi but wahi khuda thahre

thahre us dar pe yun to kya thahre
ban ke zanjir-e-be-sada thahre

sans thahre to dam zara thahre
tez aandhi mein shama kya thahre

zindagani hai ek nafas ka shumar
be-hawa ye charagh kya thahre

jis ko tum la-dawa batate the
tumhin us dard ki dawa thahre

ishq ka jurm sahl kaam nahin
ki har ek laeq-e-saza thahre

bim-o-ummid ki kashakash mein
ek do-rahe pe jaise aa thahre

roti aankhen jhalak na dekh sakin
bahte zakhmon pe kya dawa thahre

'arzu' wo hamein nasib kahan
kan tak ja ke jo sada thahre
