mahaz-e-jang se laute hue sipahi se
jo puchhiye ki hai bachchon ka shor-o-ghaugha kya

to wo kahega ki ye shor hai sukun ka amin
siwae is ke hai rahat ki aur duniya kya

magar clerk jo daftar se sham ko laute
isi sawal ka shayad jawab ye dega

sukun-e-qalb ka dushman ye gul-ghapada hai
ye rog wo hai jo ek roz jaan le lega
