hua jata hai pinhan raaz-e-dil mera ayan ho kar
dahan-e-zakhm pachtate hain kya kya be-zaban ho kar

madad ai himmat-e-gardun-shikan ab zoaf se kab tak
rahenge nala-ha-e-be-asar dil mein nihan ho kar

yakayak ho gai kyon khana-barbaadi khuda jaane
giri kis ki nigah-e-qahr barq-e-khanuman ho kar

jo naqus-e-barahman but-kada mein tha to masjid mein
lab-e-zahid se bhi nikla mera nala azan ho kar

ye khanjar hai ye dushman hai ye main hun kya tawaqquf hai
wo aaen bhi kahin aamada bahr-e-imtihan ho kar

rahe kya raaz is majruh ka pinhan ki jab nikle
dahan-e-zakhm se paikan raqibon ki zaban ho kar

hui taskin na mere qalb-e-wahshat-dost ko 'rasikh'
libas-e-zindagi jab tak na utra dhajjiyan ho kar
