mere wajud abhi na-tawan nahin hona
phir is ke baad ye mausam jawan nahin hona

kise khabar thi ki mahshar ka hoga ye bhi rang
zamin ka hona magar aasman nahin hona

hamein khabar hai ki wahshat thikane lagni hai
hamara josh abhi raegan nahin hona

wajud apna hai aur aap tai karenge hum
kahan pe hona hai hum ko kahan nahin hona

ab is ke baad sakat kuchh nahin rahi mujh mein
ab is se aage ka qissa bayan nahin hona

hamari basti ka dukh hai hamin se puchho miyan
ki qabren honi magar aastan nahin hona

maqam-e-shukr hai mere liye ki mere murid
ye tera aaj mera qadr-dan nahin hona

main khandan ka sab se bada madari hun
tamasha hota rahega yahan nahin hona

bas itni duri mayassar rahegi donon ko
ki fasla bhi koi darmiyan nahin hona

ajab azab tha ki apne shahr-e-arman mein
hamare waste ja-e-aman nahin hona

ye zulm hai ki munadi ho imtihanon ki
phir is ke baad koi imtihan nahin hona

ajab supurdagi-e-jaan ka marhala tha 'ali'
hamare hone ka hum ko guman nahin hona
