karo na der jahan mein jahan se aage chalo
yahan guman-e-khatar hai qadam badhae chalo

yahan fareb-e-nsheb-o-faraaz aksar hai
khuda ke waste itna na munh uthae chalo

shikasta-pa hun kahin sath se na rah jaun
mujhe bhi hath zara dosto lagae chalo

abhi to husn-e-amal ka zamana baqi hai
wahan ki bigdi hui kuchh yahin banae chalo

idhar-udhar kahin bhar kar tarara ja na pade
samand-e-umr-e-rawan ko zara dabae chalo

adam mein tarsoge dard-e-jigar ko ai 'taslim'
jo ho sake koi sine pe tir khae chalo
