hum shikasta-dil sitamgar ban gae
aaine tute to khanjar ban gae

hum parindon se hunar chhinega kaun
jal gaya ek ghar to sau ghar ban gae

waqt ke dhaare ne badla wo mizaj
shabnami qatre samundar ban gae

khushnuma gumbad to koi aur hai
hum to buniyaadon ke patthar ban gae

ai khuda apni khudai dekh le
log to khud hi payambar ban gae

ab parindon ka wahan kya aashiyan
sang-e-marmar ke jahan ghar ban gae
