ye zamin kis qadar sajai gai
zindagi ki tadap badhai gai

aaine se bigad ke baith gae
jin ki surat jinhen dikhai gai

dushmanon hi se bhi to nibh jae
doston se to aashnai gai

nasl-dar-nasl intizar raha
qasr tute na be-nawai gai

zindagi ka nasib kya kahiye
ek sita thi jo satai gai

hum na autar the na paighambar
kyun ye azmat hamein dilai gai

maut pai salib par hum ne
umr ban-bas mein bitai gai
