jashn hum yun bhi manaen der tak
aaj ki shab khud se uljhen der tak

sathiyon mein jab farasat hi nahin
ek paheli kya bujhaen der tak

guftugu ka ek tariqa ye bhi hai
aao hum khamosh baithen der tak

ye tumhaare zulm ki tauhin hai
shahr mein chikhen na gunjen der tak

raat ki banhen hamein bhinche rahin
aur phir hum khud ko sochen der tak

hum khud apne khwab ki tabir hain
aaina phir kyun na dekhen der tak

rah-giron ke liye phaili rahin
budhe bargad teri shakhen der tak
