kya us ka gila yurish-e-tohmat bahut hai
zinda hain jo hum log yahi baat bahut hai

jo tum ne bujha dale diye un ko jala do
ai subh ke matawalo abhi raat bahut hai

is waste gul-chin ko hui mujh se adawat
tazin-e-gulistan mein mera hath bahut hai

in firqa-paraston ke dilon mein hai kudurat
aur wird-e-zaban lafz-e-musawat bahut hai

in amn-pasandon ke parakhne ko kasauti
is daur ki tafsil-e-fasadat bahut hai

ye beton ke sar bhai ka khun bahnon ki chikhen
ibrat ho agar hum ko ye saughat bahut hai

behis ho jo insan to kahe jaiye kuchh bhi
ghairat ho agar dil mein to ek baat bahut hai

sine se tari gham ko lagae to rakhenge
na-saz magar gardish-e-haalat bahut hai

han baitho gada ban ke baras jaegi daulat
in pukhta mazaron mein karamat bahut hai
