khauf ka tari silsila kya hai
har-su wahshat hai ye hua kya hai

ruh zakhmi hamari sab ki hai
mil ke sochen ki ab dawa kya hai

qulzum-e-khun na az-azal thahri
is zehanat ka faeda kya hai

har taraf shor in sawalon ka
kaun hai tu tera pata kya hai

ghair ke ghar lagi to chup hai tu
ruk ki tera abhi jala kya hai

kyun bhatakti hain sadkon pe ruhen
mar ke jine ki ye saza kya hai

ek khalish si hawa mein hai shayad
sans mushkil sa ho gaya kya hai

tu bhi insan main bhi insan hi
ab ye insaniyat bata kya hai

jite ho lash par kisi ki tum
kal wo jitega to bura kya hai

dard tera mera na ho yaksan
dard hi hai alahada kya hai
