sanson mein rag-o-pai mein samaya hai koi aur
hai zist kisi aur ki jita hai koi aur

aankhon ne basai hai koi aur hi surat
us dil ke nihan-khane mein thahra hai koi aur

kya turfa tamasha hai ki us dil ki sada ko
sunta hai koi aur samajhta hai koi aur

ek aag hai jo dil mein bujhi jati hai har-pal
khirman se jo uthta hai wo shoala hai koi aur

lashe hain kinare pe pade tishna-labon ke
jo pyas bujhata hai wo dariya hai koi aur

har subh pe saya sa hai kuchh talkhi-e-shab ka
har sham ko andesha-e-farda hai koi aur

ek bu-e-rifaqat si fazaon mein hai 'shahid'
is kucha-e-begana se guzra hai koi aur
