jalate ho mera ghar rakh meri phir udate ho
hawa mein bhar ke mera dard kyun sab ko dikhate ho

ki hai tadfin armanon ki dil ke apne madfan mein
bhulane do gham-e-dil roz kyun tum yaad aate ho

ki suraj dub jae to kaleja kat leta hai
andhera ye bhi zalim aur shamen tum bujhate ho

mujhe tajwiz karte ho ki khamoshi ibaadat hai
chubha jo kanta khud ko shor phir kyun tum machate ho

tumhein to hifz tha shajara mohabbat ka aqidat ka
hamare baad ab dars-e-wafa kis ko sunate ho

ye meri khud-kalami hai jo sab ashaar kahti hun
'mahak' ki baaton ka charcha jahan mein kyun machate ho
