hawa mein zor udhar sud-o-ziyan ka
idhar paiwand-e-khasta baadban ka

daricha kholne se aar tum ko
hamein bhi dar bahut hai shahr-e-jaan ka

mere hisse mein hai khana-kharabi
teri qismat mein rasta kahkashan ka

chalo chal kar takan apni utaren
kahin rasta na kho jae makan ka

kisi ke palle kya padti kahani
waraq gum hai hamari dastan ka

ye kis se moajiza sarzad hua hai
har ek dar khul gaya hai jism-o-jaan ka

sajaen ba-dil-e-na-khwasta kyon
zaban-e-yar mein takhta dukan ka
