hai chubhan mustaqil qarar ke sath
phul dali pe jaise khar ke sath

mere ghar mein bhi kahkashan ki tarah
rabt qaem hai intishaar ke sath

subh ka intizar hai lekin
be-yaqini hai eatibar ke sath

khwahish-e-baghban ye hai shayad
zard rut bhi rahe bahaar ke sath

ped neamat-ba-dast o sar-kham hain
hai tafakhur bhi inkisar ke sath
