kuchh log ji rahe hain khuda ke baghair bhi
sannate gunjte hain sada ke baghair bhi

mitti ki mumlikat mein numu ki zakat par
zinda hain ped aab-o-hawa ke baghair bhi

ye nafraton ke zard alaw na honge sard
phailegi aag tez hawa ke baghair bhi

rabt-o-talluqat ka mausam nahin koi
barish hui hai kali ghata ke baghair bhi

duniya ke kar-zar mein bachchon ko maon ne
rukhsat kiya hai harf-e-dua ke baghair bhi

khauf-e-khuda mein umr guzari to kya mila
kuchh din jiyenge khauf-e-khuda ke baghair bhi
