fitna-pardazi adu ka nam hai
nam 'rahbar' ka yunhi badnam hai

ranj-o-gham mein bhi hamein bakhsha sukun
zindagi bar-dosh mai ka jam hai

pine walon ko saliqa hi nahin
mai-kada to muft mein badnam hai

teri aamad aamad-e-subh-e-bahaar
tera jaana zindagi ki sham hai

tujh se mil kar ab khula hum par ye raaz
hijr mein tere bahut aaram hai

maut aankhen khol degi ek din
tishna-e-hasti barae nam hai

jal rahe hain muft mein ahl-e-hasad
hum ko to mashq-e-sukhan se kaam hai

pursish-e-bimar-e-gham ab hai abas
zindagi ka maut hi anjam hai

is ghazal ki dad ye 'rahbar' mili
aaj har lab par tumhaara nam hai
