garche baatil ko na-pasand raha
nara-e-haq magar buland raha

jis ne arz-e-niyaz bhi na suni
dil usi ka niyaz-mand raha

pi liya zahr-e-talkhi-e-ayyam
phir bhi lahja hamara qand raha

be-hisi thi mere taaqub mein
is liye main fasil-band raha

sar-nigun ratjagon ko hona pada
parcham-e-khwab sar-buland raha

kya mile us se ek bar 'sukhan'
mauj mein fikr ka samand raha
