nikal to aae is ujde hue makan se hum
tamam shab rahe mahrum saeban se hum

hum apne waqt ke baala buland suraj the
ghurub ho gae kis tarah darmiyan se hum

zara bhi jis mein nasihat ho kuchh hidayat ho
nikal dete hain wo baat apne kan se hum

dil o dimagh nahin lafz hi karishma hai
to kya ajab ki hue qatl is zaban se hum

visal-e-yar se achchha to hijr hi hai ki ab
sukun se rahte hain wo bhi aur apni shan se hum

ye sar buland to ho jaega magar 'jawed'
zarur jaenge ek roz apni jaan se hum
