jo dhanpen tan ko wo jame kahan hain
zara dhundo nasab-name kahan hain

nishan-e-azmat-e-aslaf hain jo
buzurgon ke wo ammame kahan hain

dil-e-wahshat-asar kuchh to bata de
khamoshi kyon hai hangame kahan hain

nishan manzil ka shayad un mein paen
idhar lao safar-name kahan hain

likha karte the jo 'bebak' ho kar
sukhan-danon ke wo khame kahan hain
