sabhi yun roenge to mera rona kaun dekhega
sambhaalo dosto khud ko corona kaun dekhega

idhar qahr-e-khudawandi udhar athkheliyan un ki
siyasi logon ka ye jadu-tona kaun dekhega

hamesha ek hi manzar ye t-w band kar dalo
karodon logon ka ye rona-dhona kaun dekhega

maqam-e-khairiyat wo ho jahan aa kar koi puchhe
tu jis goshe mein rota hai wo kona kaun dekhega

are kam-bakht tu curfew mein bhi ghar nahin jata
sahafi tera akhbari bichhauna kaun dekhega

agar qudrat na ho to kaam ye mumkin nahin hota
ghazal mein aisi baaton ka samona kaun dekhega

hamein mahfuz rakhna tu zamane ki balaon se
khuda jab hum na honge tera hona kaun dekhega
