fareb-khurda-e-paiman-e-yar hona tha
rahin-e-kashmakash-e-intizar hona tha

likhin azal se thin mahrumiyan muqaddar mein
nishana-e-sitam-e-rozgar hona tha

taghaful aap ka shewa sahi magar kuchh to
khayal-e-khatir-e-ummid-war hona tha

ghazab hua ki sahar se hi pahle dil duba
abhi kuchh aur shab-e-intizar hona tha
