pas-e-diwar bhi diwar uthae hue hain
mere sathi mere lashe ko chhupae hue hain

kis se puchhun ki mere nam ki takhti hai kahan
mere sine mein to virane samae hue hain

un se kah do jo makin hain mere ghar mein ki mujhe
log phir bechne bazar mein lae hue hain

zulmaten un ka ijara hain chalo yun hi sahi
hum bhi lau dil ke charaghon ki badhae hue hain

aasman par na sitare na zamin par jugnu
kaun phir mathon pe kirnen si sajae hue hain

hum to patjhad ki sada hain hamein dekho na suno
hum ko socho ki bahaaron ko sajae hue hain

ret par main bhi gharaunda liye baitha hun 'matin'
wo bhi har qatra-e-barish mein samae hue hain
