imtihan hum ne diye hain naujawani mein bahut
aur number le chuke hain lan-tarani mein bahut

dushmanon ki dushmani mere liye aasan thi
kharch aaya doston ki mezbani mein bahut

un ke rukh ki jazbiyyat ka sabab poshida hai
aankh mein kam aur chashme ki kamani mein bahut

mehrbani kar mujhe apni kahani mein na rakh
be-tuke kirdar hain teri kahani mein bahut

dar-e-fani itni aasani se kaise chhod dun
dosto dilchaspiyan hain dar-e-fani mein bahut

hum ki hain be-ghar koi warrant laega kahan
jurm ki aasaniyan hain la-makani mein bahut
