kyun har uruj ko yahan aakhir zawal hai
sochen agar to sirf yahi ek sawal hai

baala-e-sar falak hai to zer-e-qadam hai khak
us be-niyaz ko mera kitna khayal hai

lamha yahi jo is ghadi aalam pe hai muhit
hone ki is jahan mein tanha misal hai

aakhir hui shikast to apni zamin par
apne badan se mera nikalna muhaal hai

suraj hai raushni ki kiran is jagah 'malal'
wusat mein kaenat andhere ka jal hai
