qatre mein bhi chhupe hain bhanwar raqs kijiye
qaid-e-sadaf mein misl-e-guhar raqs kijiye

kije fasurdagi-e-tabiat ka kuchh ilaj
is khak-dan mein misl-e-sharar raqs kijiye

ek naujawan ne aaj buzurgon se kah diya
hoti nahin jo umr basar raqs kijiye

suje hain panw aankh se hi tal dijiye
uljha hua hai tar-e-nazar raqs kijiye

gardish mein ek sitara-e-be-chaara hi nahin
hai aasman bhi zer-o-zabar raqs kijiye

guzre jo mah-o-sal to lai bhi badal gai
ab ke baras ba-rang-e-digar raqs kijiye

fariyaad kijiye na koi zulm dhaiye
ek wahm hai shikast-o-zafar raqs kijiye

is taife mein ek kami hai to aap ki
ai dushmanan-e-ilm-o-hunar raqs kijiye

fashion hai aaj-kal ka madari ki dugdugi
dil chahe ya na chahe magar raqs kijiye

apni to jhonpadi mein thirakta nahin charagh
ja kar kisi raqib ke ghar raqs kijiye

'sayyad' na radio na cinema hai aap ka
apne hi git gaiye aur raqs kijiye
