pareshan hain adim-ul-fursati se
nahin bezar phir bhi zindagi se

sharafat ki koi had hai muqarrar
to baz aa jaen sulh-o-ashti se

chhupae phirte hain dozakh dilon mein
ba-zahir lagte hain sab jannati se

ajab hai ikhtilat-e-din-o-duniya
na dab jae kahin neki badi se

tamashe ko na kyon dastur kahiye
samundar pet bharta hai nadi se

qutub-minar se aawaz den kya
ki hum kya chahte hain shaeri se

andheri raat phir ummid se hai
kiran phutegi us ki kokh hi se

meri daryaft mustaqbil mein hogi
main aajiz hun tilism-e-agahi se

abhi hai sakht mehnat ki zarurat
abhi insan kam hain aadmi se

khala-bazi se mujh ko rokte hain
kai fitne zamini waqai se

wahi madh-o-sataish dil-nawazi
kabhi to pesh aao be-rukhi se

safar aasan hai dushwar kar do
khudara sath aa jao khushi se

sunahri dhup se marub ho tum
buland iqbaal hota hai khudi se

mujhe aabid pukaren 'sarfaraaz' ab
ki sach likhta hun main sanjidgi se
