sochte hain to kar guzarte hain
hum to manjdhaar mein utarte hain

maut se khelte hain hum lekin
ghair ki bandagi se darte hain

jaan apni to hai hamein bhi aziz
phir bhi shoalon pe raqs karte hain

dil-figaron se puchh kar dekho
kitni sadiyon mein ghaw bharte hain

jin ko hai indimal-e-zakhm aziz
aamad-e-fasl-e-gul se darte hain

chhup ke rote hain sab ki nazron se
jo gila hai wo khud se karte hain
