har taraf iztirab hai yaro
waqt kitna kharab hai yaro

ek ek pal mein karb se kitna
lamha lamha azab hai yaro

har taraf tod-phod ki sazish
ye bhi ek inqalab hai yaro

aaj inton ki sar-kashi ke liye
pattharon ka jawab hai yaro

rahbar-e-waqt waqt ke rahzan
kya ajab intikhab hai yaro

jina dushwar zindagi mushkil
ek tarah ka itab hai yaro

gham ki tahrir kah rahi hai 'nawaz'
chehra chehra kitab hai yaro
