main ye kis ke nam likkhun jo alam guzar rahe hain
mere shahr jal rahe hain mere log mar rahe hain

koi ghuncha ho ki gul ho koi shakh ho shajar ho
wo hawa-e-gulsitan hai ki sabhi bikhar rahe hain

kabhi rahmaten thin nazil isi khitta-e-zamin par
wahi khitta-e-zamin hai ki 'azab utar rahe hain

wahi taeron ke jhurmut jo hawa mein jhulte the
wo faza ko dekhte hain to ab aah bhar rahe hain

badi aarzu thi hum ko nae khwab dekhne ki
so ab apni zindagi mein nae khwab bhar rahe hain

koi aur to nahin hai pas-e-khanjar-azmai
hamin qatl ho rahe hain hamin qatl kar rahe hain
