kya khabar thi ye din bhi dekhenge
khun boenge sabr katenge

kis ko munsif kahen kise qatil
bach rahe kal talak to sochenge

main agar yun hi sar uthata raha
log apne hi but ko pujenge

aap apna bhi jaeza le len
hum to apni saza ko pahunchenge

qaum mazhab zamin rang zaban
yunhi kab tak lakiren khinchenge

kya tumhein bhi guman tha 'anjum'
hum khud apne badan ko nochenge
