zulf se nisbat-e-nakaam liye phirte hain
dhup mein shaiba-e-sham liye phirte hain

murda basti hai khabar kaun kisi ki lega
sath mein dushman-o-dushnam liye phirte hain

ab junun mein bhi to behosh nahin diwane
ru-ba-sahra hain dar-o-baam liye phirte hain

sard chup-chap zaminon ki tarah hi hum log
apne andar koi kohram liye phirte hain

har-qadam khulta hai ek band gali ki jaanib
har-nafas khadsha-e-anjam liye phirte hain

munfarid apne khad-o-khal na khaka apna
wo jo aglon ne rakha nam liye phirte hain
