kahaniyon ne zara khinch kar badan apne
haram-sara se bulaya hamein watan apne

khule gale ki qamisen khule gale ke firaq
ye ladkiyan hain badalti hain pairahan apne

ghadar ke phul sajati hain aise baalon mein
sambhaal sakti hon jaise bhare badan apne

ajab bhadak hai sharabon ki aur aankhon ki
bala hai husn bidakne lage hain ban apne

parae dard ki thikri se ghar karen raushan
ki siflagi ki riyazat mein hain magan apne

ye inkisar ke putle ye sim-o-zar ki sana
ye maskhare hain ki chole mein gorkan apne

hamein nikalo gharon ki kamin gahon se
lahu ke ram se dahakne lage khutan apne

hum ehtiyaj ke hujron se rizq chunte hue
zamin ke khwan pe rakhne lage lagan apne

ye aarzuon ke chaqmaq se jale sine
jo aatishin hain magar nochte hain tan apne

yahan zamin pe balwe yahan zamin pe fasad
nikal rakhte hain sanduq se kafan apne

wo bas dur ke khaton ki auraton mein udi
jise jahazon mein lae the ham-sukhan apne
