jin ki khatir sab se begane hue
hae wo lamhe bhi afsane hue

phir kisi ke ho na pae umr bhar
aap ke ho kar jo begane hue

kis se kahiye apne qatil hain wahi
the masiha jin ko gardane hue

dekhte the hum nigah-e-rahbar
warna the rahzan to pahchane hue

ab qafas ki zindagi se kya gurez
jab yahin taqdir ke dane hue

so raha hai nau-e-adam ka zamir
ek rida-e-be-hisi tane hue

ho gae 'afzal' watan mein ajnabi
har gali ke jaane pahchane hue
