dua salam sar-e-rahguzar kar lena
magar har ek pe mat eatibar kar lena

udhar na bhul ke jaana hawa jidhar ki chale
ye dil pe jabr sahi ikhtiyar kar lena

hain aastinon mein khanjar zara sanbhal ke miyan
rawa-rawi mein na qaul-o-qarar kar lena

mera khamir hai apne watan ki mitti se
meri khataon mein ye bhi shumar kar lena

kharab ho chuki mana rafaqaton ki faza
gale laga ke unhen khush-gawar kar lena

ye wo khazana hai jis ka badal nahin koi
talluqat-e-kuhan ustuwar kar lena

jo gird-o-pesh badhe zor kam-ayyari ka
buland apni ana ka hisar kar lena

main ab ke yaad ki khilat pahan ke aaunga
ye mera wada raha intizar kar lena

naya nahin hai tamasha ye dilbaron ka 'sahar'
hai un ka khel dilon ka shikar kar lena
