pahle se pairahan mera itna udas aur
phir pairahan ke husn pe dukh ka libas aur

kya khud-kushi sabhi ko ye aawaz deti hain
aa patriyon ke pas aa thoda sa pas aur

donon ko mat milaiye aankhen hon ya sharab
sahra ki pyas aur hai dariya ki pyas aur

aage bhi kat lenge tere bin ye zindagi
jab itni pi chuke hain to ek do gilas aur

in aansuon ne chhod di honton pe kuchh nami
yani shahad se jud gai gud ki mithas aur
