kis se kya mangun jahan mein koi kya dega mujhe
jo bhi dega kam ziyaada wo khuda dega mujhe

qatl karke jo tamannaon ka meri shad hai
us se kya ummid rakhun khun-baha dega mujhe

wo masiha jis ke daman par lahu ke dagh hain
zahr-e-qatil surat-e-ab-e-baqa dega mujhe

lamha-e-tark-e-talluq ye kabhi socha na tha
zindagi bhar tanha rahne ki saza dega mujhe

dekhta hai aasman tapta hua parbat ki ab
sabz khilat pani barsa kar khuda dega mujhe

jhurriyon aur silwaton par barhami meri abas
jo mera chehra hai wo hi aaina dega mujhe

kaam aankhon se zaban ka lena hai 'naghmi' wahan
wo qalam karke zaban harf-o-nawa dega mujhe
