uthae dosh pe tarikh-e-hadsat-e-jahan
guzar raha hai dayar-e-hayat se insan

bichha raha hai fazaon mein dam-e-kahkashan
tere gudaz badan ka tabassum-e-pinhan

labon pe lakh lagae koi sukut ki mohr
magar khamoshi na hogi jarahaton ki zaban

bhadak uthe na kahin phir charagh-e-zakhm ki lau
sambhal sambhal ke sunao hadis-e-shahr-e-butan

dhuan dhuan si mili hai faza-e-shahr-e-junun
bujhi hai raat gae jab bhi mashal-e-zindan

ye wo jahan hai ki har shahr-e-sang-o-khisht ke baad
qadam qadam pe hai 'ishrat' dayar-e-shisha-garan
