poshak na tu pahniyo ai sarw-e-rawan surkh
ho jae na partaw se tere kaun-o-makan surkh

yan baada-e-ahmar ke chhalakte hain jo saghar
ai pir-e-mughan dekh ki hai sari dukan surkh

pi baada-e-ahmar to ye kahne laga gul-ru
main surkh hun tum surkh zamin surkh zaman surkh

kya pan ki surkhi ne kiya qatl kisi ko
shiddat se hai kyun aaj teri tegh-e-zaban surkh

sine mein dil-e-gham-zada khun ho gaya shayad
be-wajh bhi hote hain kahin ashk-e-rawan surkh

kya bhadke hai sine mein mere aatish-e-furqat
jo aah ke ham-rah nikalta hai dhuan surkh

ye qatl-e-khizan par hain jawanan-e-chaman shad
har samt gul-o-lala udate hain nishan surkh

gar meri shahadat ki bashaarat nahin 'parwin'
phir kyun hai khat-e-shauq ke unwan ye nishan surkh
