wo chahte hain ki raste mein sham ho jae
main chahta hun ki zulmat tamam ho jae

junun-e-azm nahin khatm chand namon par
magar jo waqt ka apne imam ho jae

laga ke aag nasheman ko dekhne walo
sukun-e-dil na tumhaara haram ho jae

'waqar' ho jo ye bargashtagi to kya kahiye
khud apna aashiyan apna hi dam ho jae
