wahshaton mein ishq ki wo shana farmaenge kya
zindagi uljhi hui hai baal suljhaenge kya

khud hi tum socho jo duniya mein asir-e-zat hain
wo dukhon ki bhid mein aaram pahunchaenge kya

daur-e-istibdad mein ai dil fughan be-sud hai
garmi-e-fariyaad se patthar pighal jaenge kya

sone chandni ki ye nahren ye falak-paima mahal
baad marne ke tere mahshar mein kaam aaenge kya

hum ne sadiyon ka chaman chhoda wafa ki aas par
ab tumhaare des mein bhi thokaren khaenge kya

taqat-e-zabt-o-tahammul kab ki rukhsat ho chuki
na-tawan-e-ishq ko wo aur tadpaenge kya

ai shua-e-mehr-e-taban jalwa-rezi se teri
sang-reze rah ke almas ban jaenge kya

jo musalsal asr-e-nau se barsar-e-paikar hain
wo bhi thak kar waqt ke sanche mein dhal jaenge kya
