hai kathin rah to gir gir ke sambhalna hoga
apne manzil ki taraf daud ke chalna hoga

apne khwabon ko haqiqat mein badalne ke liye
khwab-e-ghaflat se kisi taur nikalna hoga

tez aandhi mein jalana hai agar apna charagh
rukh hawaon ka ba-har-haal badalna hoga

ban ke ulfat ki ghata tum yahan barson warna
aag nafrat ki jo bhadkegi to jalna hoga

chup rahoge to na mil paega insaf kabhi
us ko pane ke liye tum ko machalna hoga

zindagi mang rahi hai jo umango ki dalil
tum ko dariya ki tarah phir se ubalna hoga

tum jo chahe ki ujala ho tere dam se 'munib'
ban ke ek shama yahan tujh ko pighalna hoga
