gham se na aansuon se na diwangi se hum
waqif nahin the aap se pahle kisi se hum

zinda rakhin buzurgon ki hum ne riwayaten
dushman se bhi mile to mile aajizi se hum

sab sar-phiri hawaon ko dushman bana liya
raushan hue the ladne ko ek tirgi se hum

sansen mahak rahi hain nigahon mein nur hai
phir aaj mil ke aae hain ek aadmi se hum

suraj to sirf din ke ujale ka hai imam
hum hain charagh ladte hain tira-shabi se hum

badnam ho raha hai muqaddar to be-sabab
barbaad hain khud apne amal ki kami se hum
