kab tak khinchi lakir pe hi chalte jaen hum
aao ki ab naya koi rasta banaen hum

baaton mein aa ke ek sitara-misal ki
khadsha hai jaan-e-man na tumhein bhul jaen hum

itne kade the kos ki mohlat na mil saki
kuchh der raste mein kahin baith jaen hum

malum hai ki aane se qasir hai ek shakhs
kya us ke intizar mein aankhen jalaen hum

yun dekhiye to koi badi baat bhi nahin
phir talkhiyon ka yar sabab kya bataen hum

jab faisle hon nam-o-nasab dekh kar 'wasim'
zanjir khak adl ki ja kar hilaen hum
