kashtiyon se utar na jaen kahin
log tufan se dar na jaen kahin

zindagi hai ki aag ka dariya
shiddat-e-gham se mar na jaen kahin

jin ko zulmat ne bandh rakha hai
chandni mein bikhar na jaen kahin

rok ashkon ko ab sar-e-mizhgan
ye bhi had se guzar na jaen kahin

aao likh len lahu se ahd-e-wafa
qaul se hum mukar na jaen kahin

un ki yaadon ke zakhm ai 'alam'
waqt se pahle bhar na jaen kahin
