firaun-e-waqt koi bhi ho sar-kashi karo
yaran-e-shahr meri tarah zindagi karo

amrit nahin nasib to zahrab hi sahi
kuchh to ilaj-e-shiddat-e-tishna-labi karo

ye zulmat-e-tamam musalsal nahin qubul
dil ka lahu bala se jale raushni karo

munh dekhi dosti se ab ukta gaya hai dil
yaro karo khulus se go dushmani karo

hum har-nafas khilaenge apne lahu se phul
tum ehtimam-e-dar-o-rasan har ghadi karo

har sher aabgina hai mauj-e-khayal ka
lo kaam ehtiyat se jab shairi karo

kaliyan khilane aaega jhonka nasim ka
tum rah mein hazar fasilen khadi karo
