ruh mein ghor andhere ko utarne na diya
hum ne insan mein insan ko marne na diya

tere baad aisi bhi tanhai ki manzil aai
ki mera sath kisi rahguzar ne na diya

kaun tha kis ne yahan dhup ke baadal barsae
aur tere husn ki chandi ko nikharne na diya

pyas ki aag lagi bhuk ki aandhi utthi
hum ne phir jism ka shiraaza bikharne na diya

zindagi kashmakash-e-waqt mein guzri apni
din ne jine na diya raat ne marne na diya

ashk barsae kabhi khun bahaya hum ne
gham ka dariya kisi mausam mein utarne na diya
