kis ki ye siyasat hai kis ki hain ye tadbiren

kis ki ye siyasat hai kis ki hain ye tadbiren
rahzanon ne pai hain rahbaron ki taqdiren
mere khwab-e-wahshat ki jaane kya hon tabiren
dar hai na zindan hai tauq hai na zanjiren


aap ki amanat hain aap hi mita dije
ye nuqush ulfat ke ye wafa ki tahriren
kah raha hai sadiyon se taj ka hasin chehra
fan agar mukammal ho bolti hain taswiren


log jaane kyun us ko kah rahe hain diwana
wo to apne khwabon ki dhundhta hai tabiren
lut len na farzane azmat-e-junun 'sumbul'
thak gae hain diwane so gai hain zanjiren
