sakhawaton ke bahane se chhal rahe hain log
na jaane kaun se sanche mein dhal rahe hain log

masarraten na jinhen ras aain auron ki
ghamon ki dhup mein baithe pighal rahe hain log

jo khud-parast hain insan mafad ke paikar
unhin ke makr farebon mein dhal rahe hain log

kahan main aa gaya is bazm mein sukun ke liye
yahan to aap hi aapas mein jal rahe hain log

na jaane kaun si mushkil mein phans gai duniya
misal-e-atish-e-khamosh jal rahe hain log

wo nim wali gali ab nazar nahin aati
tamam shahr ka naqsha badal rahe hain log

zara tu ghar se nikal kar to dekh duniya ko
har ek gam pe 'swami' badal rahe hain log
