hujum-e-yas mein lene wo kab khabar aaya
ajal na aai to ghash kis umid par aaya

bichhe hain ku-e-sitamgar mein ja-ba-ja khanjar
rag-e-gulu ka lahu panw mein utar aaya

dikhai marg ne kya kya bulandi o pasti
chale zamin ke tale aasman nazar aaya

hamesha afw tera hai gunah ka hami
hamesha rahm tujhe mere haal par aaya

buton mein koi bhalai bhi hai siwae sitam
bura ho tera dil-e-na-saza kidhar aaya

banai baat bigadne ne roz-e-mahshar bhi
uthe hain khak se hum jab wo gor par aaya

kahan ki aah-o-buka baat ban gai 'shola'
zaban ke hilte hi fariyaad mein asar aaya
