bulb ka jabda khule aag baras jae to
gar ye istakhar abhi khun se bhar jae to

ya ye istakhar
jahan aab ke manshuron se

rang-e-hasti se fana ki ye dhanak ubhri hai
koi istakhar na ho kokh ho meri man ki

aur main main nahin shayad wo uchhalta pani
jis ne sanson ki tanabon ko pakad rakha tha

wae qismat ki mere hath mein rassi na rahi
aah mera ye janin khun ugalta jae

is qadar khun meri man ka batn bhar jae
is qadar khun ki surgeon ka labaada mere

surkh ayyam ki tanhai sa gadha ho jae
aur tanbe ke kisi garm se bartan mein abhi

mere lashe ke kate lakht pade hilte hon
