zaban na hoti qalam na hote
zamin na hoti qadam na hote

koi jo thoda lihaz karta
kisi pe itne sitam na hote

hamara chehra bhi khilkhilata
jo dil mein ranj-o-alam na hote

kisi bhi raste pe chal nikalte
magar yun su-e-adam na hote

zara jo khud par dhiyan dete
hamare ushshaq bhi kam na hote

kaha kisi ka jo man lete
haya se gardan mein kham na hote

kahin bhi hote bina hum un ke
yahan khuda ki qasam na hote

hazar baaton ka hai khulasa
jo wo na hote to hum na hote
