shadi na karo jhagdon ka saman na rahega
sahil pe kabhi khatra-e-tufan na rahega

duniya ko fana hai koi insan na rahega
lekin nahin sunte hain ki shaitan na rahega

faqe hon to ulfat ka bhi unwan na rahega
jab ho gham-e-jaanan gham-e-dauran na rahega

rashan ki qasam gar yahi haalat rahi kuchh din
koi bhi kisi ke yahan mehman na rahega

bad-maash ye kahte the jo aazad hua hind
hogi na saza ek bhi zindan na rahega

banti yunhi taron se jo chunta raha kante
sahra mein koi khar-e-mughilan na rahega

bulwaya rafu-gar ko abhi chaak ki hai fikr
tab aaega jab pas gareban na rahega

sin dhalte hi sab baz ke pinjron se udenge
lamchhar na rahega koi tuyyan na rahega

mardon ke the marghat jahan hain zindon ke bangle
sunte hain koi gor-e-ghariban na rahega

han popla munh aashiq-e-nashad ko dekho
phir zehn mein bhi chit koi tuyyan na rahega
