nadir ashya ki jagah chhant ke lae patthar
hum ne kis shauq se kamre mein sajae patthar

harf-e-haq harf-e-ghalat karne ko aae patthar
main ne sach bol ke har daur mein khae patthar

hum ne be-faiz chatanon mein khilae gulzar
hum ne zarkhez zaminon se ugae patthar

roz ubharte rahe diwar muqabil ban kar
apni rahon se bahut hum ne hatae patthar

kya khabar kaun se aalam mein uthi thin nazren
main ne dekha to sitare nazar aae patthar

phul barsae the har ek pe hum ne 'kaifi'
laut kar hum pe har ek samt se aae patthar
