kushad zehn-o-dil-o-gosh ki zarurat hai
ye zindagi hai yahan hosh ki zarurat hai

sunai degi yaqinan zamir ki aawaz
mukhatibin-e-subuk-gosh ki zarurat hai

ab ehtiyaj nahin sarw-qamaton ki mujhe
mujhe to ab kisi ham-dosh ki zarurat hai

kharosh-e-khum ka bharam kholna hai kya mushkil
bas ek rind-e-bala-nosh ki zarurat hai

nigar-e-subh ke aansu sametne ke liye
gulon ko wusat-e-aghosh ki zarurat hai

kahin faqat mutakallim sukut ki hajat
kahin takallum-e-khamosh ki zarurat hai
