mere labon pe aaj qayamat ka waqt hai
neze pe sar hai aur tilawat ka waqt hai

wajh-e-shikast-e-jang ki taftish phir kabhi
pahle sipahiyon ki ayaadat ka waqt hai

jugnu bhi ghar se niklen sitare bhi aaen sath
mitti ke ek diye pe musibat ka waqt hai

suraj jala raha hai gunahon ki dhup mein
dariya bata raha hai nadamat ka waqt hai

hone lagi hai tang mere jism par ye khak
yani ki ab zamin se hijrat ka waqt hai

sabze bhi jal chuke hain parinde bhi ud gae
aisa mere makan pe ghurbat ka waqt hai

main ja raha hun apna sukhan bechne 'salim'
yaro khata muaf tijarat ka waqt hai
