ghar se nikle hain kisi zalim ke khwahan ho ke hum
phir rahe hain aap apne dushman-e-jaan ho ke hum

dekh kar sumbul ko yaad aai jo zulf-e-ambarin
misl-e-bu gulshan se nikle hain pareshan ho ke hum

chashm-e-tar ne daman-e-sahra mein moti bhar diye
josh-e-wahshat mein uthe the abr-e-naisan ho ke hum

chaunk padte hain wo ruya mein bhi hum ko dekh kar
shayad aate hain nazar khwab-e-pareshan ho ke hum

hausle parwaz ke nikle hain mar-mitne ke baad
udte phirte hain ghubar-e-ku-e-jaanan ho ke hum

intiha-e-laghari ne kar diya qissa daraaz
ji rahe hain maut ki nazron se pinhan ho ke hum

dekh kar dil tutta hai 'shaeq' anjam-e-habab
kya karenge bahr-e-alam mein numayan ho ke hum
