hum chatanon ki tarah sahil pe dhaale jaenge
phir hamein sailab ke dhaare baha le jaenge

aisi rut aai andhere ban gae mimbar ke but
gumbad-o-mehrab kya jugnu bacha le jaenge

pahle sab tamir karwaenge kaghaz ke makan
phir hawa ke rukh pe angare uchhaale jaenge

hum wafadaron mein hain us ke magar mashkuk hain
ek na ek din us ki mahfil se nikale jaenge

jang mein le jaenge sarhad pe sab tir-o-tafang
hum to apne sath mitti ki dua le jaenge

shahr ko tahzib ke jhonkon ne nanga kar diya
ganw ke sar ka dupatta bhi uda le jaenge

dastan-e-ishq ko 'bekal' na de giton ka rup
dost hain bebak sab lahje chura le jaenge
