dil-sahra aabaad bhi karna padta hai
us zalim ko yaad bhi karna padta hai

be-maqsad ke shaghl bhi ras aa jate hain
waqt kabhi barbaad bhi karna padta hai

arz hi karte rahne mein ghata hai bahut
kabhi kabhi irshad bhi karna padta hai

jalwon ke khush-rang parindon ki khatir
aankhon ko sayyaad bhi karna padta hai

aamad ke qael to hum bhi hain lekin
fan-para ijad bhi karna padta hai
