kuchh faisla to ho ki kidhar jaana chahiye
pani ko ab to sar se guzar jaana chahiye

nashtar-ba-dast shahr se chaaragari ki lau
ai zakhm-e-be-kasi tujhe bhar jaana chahiye

har bar ediyon pe gira hai mera lahu
maqtal mein ab ba-tarz-e-digar jaana chahiye

kya chal sakenge jin ka faqat masala ye hai
jaane se pahle rakht-e-safar jaana chahiye

sara jwar-bhata mere dil mein hai magar
ilzam ye bhi chand ke sar jaana chahiye

jab bhi gae azab-e-dar-o-baam tha wahi
aakhir ko kitni der se ghar jaana chahiye

tohmat laga ke man pe jo dushman se dad le
aise sukhan-farosh ko mar jaana chahiye
