tabdiliyon ki rah pe chalne to de mujhe
khud ko badal raha hun badalne to de mujhe

bachcha nahin hun main jo bhatak jaunga kahin
tanha rah-e-hayat mein chalne to de mujhe

jalta hua charagh agar hai mera wajud
phir apne dil ke taq mein jalne to de mujhe

gar meri dastaras mein nahin aasman ka chand
mahtab-suraton se bahalne to de mujhe

ban jaunga kiran teri subh-e-jamal ki
tu apne rang rup mein dhalne to de mujhe

bar-e-gham-e-hayat utha lunga aur bhi
ai inqilab-e-dahr sambhalne to de mujhe

dam tod dengi khud hi purani riwayaten
aain-e-mulk-e-shauq badalne to de mujhe

mil jaega mujhe bhi ujalon ka rasta
zindan-e-tirgi se nikalne to de mujhe
