puchho agar to karte hain inkar sab ke sab
sach ye ki hain hayat se bezar sab ke sab

apni khabar kisi ko nahin phir bhi jaane kyun
padhte hain roz shahr mein akhbar sab ke sab

tha ek main jo shart-e-wafa todta raha
haalanki ba-wafa the mere yar sab ke sab

socho to nafraton ka zakhira hai ek dil
karte hain yun to pyar ka izhaar sab ke sab

zindan koi qarib nahin aur na raqs-gah
sunte hain ek ajib si jhankar sab ke sab

maidan-e-jang aane se pahle palat gae
nikle the le ke hath mein talwar sab ke sab

zehnon mein khaulta tha jo lawa wo jam gaya
mafluj ho ke rah gae fankar sab ke sab
