zakhm khana hi jab muqaddar ho
phir koi phul ho ki patthar ho

main hun khwab-e-giran ke narghe mein
raat guzre to marka sar ho

phir ghanimon se be-khabar hai sipah
phir aqab se numud lashkar ho

kya ajab hai ki khud hi mara jaun
aur ilzam bhi mere sar ho

hain zamin par jo gard-baad se hum
ye bhi shayad falak ka chakkar ho

us ko tabir hum karen kis se
wo jo hadd-e-bayan se bahar ho

dekhna hi jo shart thahri hai
phir to aankhon mein koi manzar ho
