khizan-rasida hain gar bahaaren
inhi khizaon ka jashn hoga

zamane wo bhi to yaad honge
jo roz jashn-e-bahaar hota

na jao patton pe tahniyon par
jo sukh kar charmara gai hain

abhi bhi in mein hai aag pinhan
abhi hain shoale bhi khwab-agin

kharosh chingariyon ka khufta
na chhedo in ko

abhi na chhedo
