gharanon se mohabbat ki fazaen chhin lete hain
sitamgar phul se bachchon ki maen chhin lete hain

hamare baadshahon ko hai nafrat shor se itni
ki mazlumon se rone ki sadaen chhin lete hain

kahin hain kufr ke fatwe kahin shor-e-malamat hai
khuda jab log ban jaen jazaen chhin lete hain

ilahi teri basti mein ye kaise log baste hain
saron par hath rakhte hain ridaen chhin lete hain

kisi muflis ki majburi kisi ki bhuk ka sauda
khuda ke nam par zalim qabaen chhin lete hain

zaban-e-narm se karte hain pahle pyar ki baaten
bula kar pas phir jabran hayaen chhin lete hain

meri khidki ke aage log utha dete hain diwaren
mere kamre ke hisse ki hawaen chhin lete hain

mohabbat dher par kachre ke har ek ja bilakti hai
ki tohmat bantne wale wafaen chhin lete hain

batao kis tarah 'tashna' yahan sairab ho koi
samundar khushk sahra se ghataen chhin lete hain
