kahan hain sab ke sab fankar apne
liye phirte hain jo pindar apne

raqam tarikh mein shahkar apne
hamesha hausle hathiyar apne

parinde phadphada kar gir rahe hain
sambhaalo gumbad-o-minar apne

nahin das bis par mauquf hasti
hain lakhon sar-ba-kaf tayyar apne

hamein takhrib ke tane na dena
jahan bhar ke hain sab meamar apne

unhen kahte ho apne ghar ko jaen
bhula baithe hain jo ghar-bar apne

tumhaari sakhtiyan hain be-zaron par
ye puchho the kahan zardar apne

hamesha maut ke saudagaron se
bhare hain kucha-o-bazar apne

agar hai amn ki khwahish hatao
hamare ghar se pahre-dar apne
