ek to nazron mein hai aur ek fitna sar mein hai
ek adu bahar hai mera ek dushman ghar mein hai

bolne lag jae ek zi-ruh ki manind sang
qudrat-e-haq se bahut kuchh qudrat-e-azar mein hai

main jahan gir jaun thak kar hai wahi lahna mera
ek tarah se meri manzil mere baal-o-par mein hai

letta hun to chipak jati hai kyon is se kamar
dekhta hun jhad kar kya khasiyyat bistar mein hai

khub-tar ki aarzu karta hun 'basir' is liye
chahiye wo kuchh jo achchhe mein nahin behtar mein hai
