tai kar chuke ye zindagi-e-jawedan se hum
aage badhenge aur uthe hain jahan se hum

kis ko sada den kis se kahen sath le chalo
pichhe rahe ghubar-e-rah-e-karwan se hum

dil mein jo dard hai wo nigahon se hai ayan
ye baat aur hai na kahen kuchh zaban se hum

chaunka diya qafas ne hamein gahri nind se
wabasta ho chale the bahut aashiyan se hum

gar aa bhi jae meri jabin tak wo aastan
laenge sajda-rezi ki aadat kahan se hum

faiz-e-junun se fursat-e-fariyaad hi na thi
na-ashna hi rah gae tarz-e-fughan se hum

dekhi hain hum ne un ki pashiman-nigahiyan
kahna ho lakh phir bhi kahen kis zaban se hum
