qaid shishe mein rahun aks banun shad rahun
ya ki phir phod ke ye aaina aazad rahun

yunhi jita rahun gumnam andheron mein kahin
ya karun subh koi aisi ki main yaad rahun

ya to ijad karun apne jahan-e-nau ki
ya to khandar mein mere apne hi barbaad rahun

ghont dun apni samaat ka gala to kuchh ho
warna dil ki fughan mein kaise main aabaad rahun

hai nida ban ke nikalna so zaban se teri
jo rahun apni zaban pe hi to fariyaad rahun

ai mere dost ye ashaar sambhaale rakhna
aarzu hai main tere sath mere baad rahun
