ai ham-safaro kyun na yahin shahr basa len
apne hi usul apni hi aqdar bana len

wo log jinhon ne mere honton ko siya hai
sozan se meri soch ka kanta bhi nikalen

is bazm se utthega na shoala koi hargiz
yaro chalo qindil se qindil jala len

har shahr mein hain fasl-e-junun aane ke charche
shorida-saro aao gareban sila len

yun zehn pe hai khauf ke sayon ka tasallut
hum aai hui baat ko honton mein daba len

kahne ko to bazar mein ham-jins garan hain
amalan hamin kaudi pe kharidar utha len

bojh apna bhi hum se to uthaya nahin jata
aur aap musir aap ka bhi bojh utha len

shayad koi chingari sulagti hui mil jae
aao to zara rakh ka ye dher khangalen
