qabr se qahr ke aasar nikal aate hain
khanqahon mein bhi darbar nikal aate hain

udti padti hui be-kar si afwahon par
surkhiyan odh ke akhbar nikal aate hain

gham ke sailab mein hum dubte itraate hain
kabhi us par to is par nikal aate hain

itni mayusi hai ab zakhm ke bazaron mein
aansuon ke bhi kharidar nikal aate hain

wo to jaan le ke musallam hain wafadari mein
hum to sar de ke bhi ghaddar nikal aate hain

jab bhi ad jate hain har haal mein baiat pe yazid
phir kafan odh ke inkar nikal aate hain

wo mohabbat ho siyasat ho ki ho amn ki jang
ab to har mod pe bazar nikal aate hain

gham mein dubi hui bad-haal si sachchai par
ladkhadate hue ashaar nikal aate hain
