dushmani hai na kahin yari hai
jine wale teri fankari hai

mahw-e-hairat samaaten hain abhi
khamushi ka bayan jari hai

kuchh to hum aks hain aaine bhi
aur kuchh apni adakari hai

chehragi chup hai khadd-o-khal khamosh
aainon par sukut tari hai

aaj-kal dad-e-sukhan dena bhi
'mauj' 'ghaalib' ki taraf-dari hai
