jin se ummid-e-karam thi wo sitamgar nikle
hum jinhen phul samajhte the wo patthar nikle

gham ke parde mein nihan khushiyon ke manzar nikle
is andhere mein ujalon ke samundar nikle

chal rahi hai yahan har samt bala ki aandhi
khair is mein hai koi ghar se na bahar nikle

meri achchhai chhupa li mere ham-dardon ne
meri ruswai badi dhum se le kar nikle

kitne arman se daman pe sajaya tha unhen
hae ye phul to kante se bhi bad-tar nikle

main ne jin hathon ko mazbut kiya tha 'nayyar'
aaj un hathon se mere liye khanjar nikle
