kisi ki baat koi bad-guman na samjhega
zamin ka dard kabhi aasman na samjhega

samundaron pe jo chalta raha hai be-maqsad
kahan hain panw ke naqsh-o-nishan na samjhega

use junun hai lafzon se khelne ka bahut
hamari sada si lekin zaban na samjhega

ye sab hain ahl-e-siyasat inhi ki sazish hai
yahi hai sach jise sara jahan na samjhega

jo meri zahiri surat se kha raha hai fareb
yaqin jaaniye dard-e-nihan na samjhega

mata-e-lauh-o-qalam lutta raha hai jo
lahu-luhan hain kyun ungliyan na samjhega

kamal-e-zabt ke ba-wasf koi bhi 'azam'
ye kaise phat gaya aatish-fishan na samjhega
