mujhe sochne de

meri nakaam mohabbat ki kahani mat chhed
apni mayus umangon ka fasana na suna
zindagi talkh sahi zahr sahi sam hi sahi
dard o aazar sahi jabr sahi gham hi sahi


lekin is dard-o-gham o jabr ki wusat ko to dekh
zulm ki chhanw mein dam todti khilqat ko to dekh
apni mayus umangon ka fasana na suna
meri nakaam mohabbat ki kahani mat chhed


jalsa-gahon mein ye dahshat-zada sahme amboh
rahguzaron pe falakat-zada logon ke giroh
bhuk aur pyas se pazh-murda siyah-fam zamin
tira-o-tar makan muflis o bimar makin


nau-e-insan mein ye sarmaya o mehnat ka tazad
amn o tahzib ke parcham tale qaumon ka fasad
har taraf aatish o aahan ka ye sailab-e-azim
nit-nae tarz pe hoti hui duniya taqsim


lahlahate hue kheton pe jawani ka saman
aur dahqan ke chhappar mein na batti na dhuan
ye falak-bos milen dilkash o simin bazar
ye ghalazat pe jhapatte hue bhuke nadar


dur sahil pe wo shaffaf makanon ki qatar
sarsaraate hue pardon mein simatte gulzar
dar-o-diwar pe anwar ka sailab-e-rawan
jaise ek shaer-e-madhosh ke khwabon ka jahan


ye sabhi kyun hai ye kya hai mujhe kuchh sochne de
kaun insan ka khuda hai mujhe kuchh sochne de
apni mayus umangon ka fasana na suna
meri nakaam mohabbat ki kahani mat chhed
