pani ko aag kah ke mukar jaana chahiye
palkon pe ashk ban ke thahar jaana chahiye

saut-o-sukhan ke daere tahlil ho gae
qaus-e-nazar se dil mein utar jaana chahiye

ehsas ki zaban ko lughat se nikal kar
mani ki sarhadon se guzar jaana chahiye

duniya ki wusaten hain ba-andaza-e-nazar
ye dekhne ka kaam hai kar jaana chahiye

tanha nazar pe kijiye kis dil se e'tibar
dil ko bhi ta-ba-hadd-e-nazar jaana chahiye

gham-ha-e-zindagi se na tha umr bhar faragh
ab kuchh to zindagi ko sanwar jaana chahiye

jaun kahan ki khud meri rahen safar mein hain
rahen safar mein hon to kidhar jaana chahiye

zanjir-e-makan hai jahan husn-e-la-makan
us anjuman mein bar-e-digar jaana chahiye

zamzam harim-kaba mein hai mamta ka dil
hai shart-e-zist dub ke mar jaana chahiye

jaan ho agar mata-e-talab se aziz-tar
parwanon ko charagh se dar jaana chahiye

yaro suna hai aap mein gum ho gaya 'zafar'
is khanuman-kharab ke ghar jaana chahiye
