ye bhi nahin ummid ki bedad karoge
tum aise kahan ho ki mujhe yaad karoge

kya mere liye ghair ko nashad karoge
tum yun bhi sitam dhaoge bedad karoge

do-chaar ghadi aur hai duniya mein basera
ab zulm karoge agar aazad karoge

ye hijr na jaane mujhe kya waqt dikhae
aur tum kisi bad-bakht ko kyon yaad karoge

taqdir ke mare ko satana nahin achchha
barbaad ko tum aur kya barbaad karoge

main khub samajhta hun tumhaari ye shararat
nashad karoge tum agar shad karoge

tum ja to rahe ho magar itna to bata do
taqdir ke mare ko kabhi yaad karoge

tasir se khali nahin 'bismil' ka tadapna
ye yaad rahe tum ko ki tum yaad karoge
