yun chalte hain log rah zalim
koi chaal hai ye bhi aah zalim

auron ki taraf tu dekhta hai
idhar bhi to kar nigah zalim

hai rast to ye ki main na dekha
tujh sa koi kaj-kulah zalim

kuchh rahm bhi hai teri jafa se
ek khalq hai dad-khwah zalim

kis waste bolta nahin tu
kya mujh se hua gunah zalim

ai 'mushafi' dil kahin na dije
hoti hai buri ye chah zalim
