kashkol-e-jaan se sikka-e-nafrat nikal kar
ai dost phir se aa ke marasim bahaal kar

chaha tha umr-bhar tujhe pal mein bhula diya
tu ne hi to kaha tha ki koi kamal kar

ye dard ka safar hai bahut dur jaega
umr-e-rawan abhi se na mujh ko nidhaal kar

duniya ko kya khabar ki guzarti hai hum pe kya
likhte hain sher apne lahu ko ubaal kar

is shahr ka to hai yahi dastur-e-zindagi
bas khamushi se dekh na koi sawal kar

mana ki shaeri hai asasa tera 'amin'
ghar ki zaruriyat ka kuchh to khayal kar
