karahte hue insan ki sada hum hain
main sochta hun meri jaan aur kya hum hain

jo aaj tak nahin pahunchi khuda ke kanon tak
sar-e-dayar-e-sitam aah-e-na-rasa hum hain

tabahiyon ko muqaddar samajh ke hain khamosh
hamara gham na karo dard-e-la-dawa hum hain

kahan nigah se guzarte hain dukh bhare dihat
hasin shahron ke hi gham mein mubtala hum hain
