zakhmon ka byopari hai
achchhi sahu-kari hai

bojhal bojhal palkon par
raat abhi tak tari hai

bas ek patthar jhuggi ka
shish-mahal par bhaari hai

sanp dase ek umr hui
nashsha ab tak tari hai

chand kahin ye fashion hai
chand kahin bad-kari hai

amn-e-alam ki khatir
jang yugon se jari hai

main hi 'aslam' sachcha hun
jhuti duniya sari hai
