har haqiqat hai wahi khwab-e-pareshan ki jo tha
jazba-e-dil hai wahi chaak-gareban ki jo tha

mah jabinon ko mile jor ke andaz nae
dil-figaron ko wahi dida-e-hairan ki jo tha

han shahidan-e-wafa sar pe kafan kaj hi rahe
dekhna aaj bhi zalim hai pasheman ki jo tha

na masiha na hi mansur na farhad raha
ab kahan raunaq-o-hangama-e-yaran ki jo tha

ek taraf unchi imaraat hain zindan zindan
ek taraf ghar hai mera dasht-o-bayaban ki jo tha
