ghazab hai muddai jo ho wahi phir muddaa thahre
jo apna dushman-e-dil ho wahi dil ki dawa thahre

wo chahen jis qadar jaur-o-jafa hum par karen lekin
hamein taslim lazim hai ki paband-e-raza thahre

ye duniya ek sara hai is ko aakhir chhod jaana hai
agar do-chaar din aakar yahan thahre to kya thahre

kate hain sar bahut tegh-e-jafa se be-gunahi ke
ajab kya hai agar qatil ka kucha karbala thahre

idhar aane ko hain wo aur udhar waqt-e-safar aaya
ajab mushkil na wo aaen na dam-bhar ko qaza thahre

usi ko zindagi ka lutf hai is dahr-e-fani mein
ki jo nazdik achchhon ke bhala aur ba-khuda thahre

qiyam apna ho is mehnat-sara-e-dahr mein kyunkar
jahan aafat hi aafat ho wahan 'aram' kya thahre
