sharifon se rifaqat mein to ghaflat hum nahin karte
kisi kam-zarf se milne ki chahat hum nahin karte

kisi ki chaplusi mein jo din ko raat kahna hai
kabhi bhule se bhi us ki himayat hum nahin karte

mohazzab daur mein beton ki bikri khub hoti hai
koi kah de ye na-jaez tijarat hum nahin karte

husul-e-manfat apni nigahon mein muqaddam hai
inhin wajhon se izhaar-e-haqiqat hum nahin karte

bani-nau-e-bashar ki manzilat shewa hamara hai
riwayat-e-buzurgan se baghawat hum nahin karte

musalman hain zamane ko payam-e-amn dete hain
jo dahshat-gard hain un ki wakalat hum nahin karte

ghalat-kari ka jo anjam hona tha hua 'anjum'
muqaddar ki kharabi ki shikayat hum nahin karte
