na ho dil-shikasta koi wo nizam chahte hain
nai subh chahte hain nai sham chahte hain

jo nigah-e-muztarib ko kahin aur ka na rakkhe
wahi barq wo hi jalwa sar-e-baam chahte hain

wo jo barguzida bande hain jahan-e-ab-o-gil mein
na numud chahte hain na wo nam chahte hain

na gharaz hai but-kade se na haram se un ko matlab
tere dar ke samne hi jo qiyam chahte hain

teri chashm-e-mast se hai jinhen nisbat-e-khususi
na wo baada chahte hain na wo jam chahte hain

wo nawa-e-sarmadi ho ki sada-e-qum-bi-izni
jo nawed-e-zindagi de wo payam chahte hain

jise mehr-o-mah dekhen ba-nigah-e-rashk 'musa'
rah-e-ashiqi mein hum to wo maqam chahte hain
