qaid-e-tanhai se qaid-e-umr mein aa jaunga
farq itna hai ki khana apne ghar ka khaunga

sans ki zanjir ne jakde hain mere hath panw
apni marzi se koi main kaam kya kar paunga

ye andheri raat aur be-samt sahra ka safar
dushmanon se bach gaya to khud bhi thokar khaunga

aankh se dekhunga jab main hilte honton ki sada
main bhi bahra ho gaya hun zor se chillaunga

nar ab gulzar hone ke zamane khatm hain
bhik mangunga khuda se git sab ke gaunga

zabta koi nahin hai barishon par munhasir
khet ke bijon mein 'majid' phul-phal le aaunga
