ye kis ki sazish hai
kis ka khun hai

ye kaun aamada-e-junun hai
ye kaun aag aur khun ki holi jala raha hai

ye kaun tiron se khelta hai
ye kaun khanjar-ba-kaf

ukhuwwat ka jism-e-nazuk kuchal raha hai
humakti masumiyat ko nezon se chhedata hai

larazti insaniyat ke kheme jala raha hai
ki aasman se muhib shoale baras rahe hain

hawaen masmum ho gai hain
fazaon se khun tapak raha hai

zamin ki chhati ko chir kar
nafraton ka lawa ubal pada hai

har ek zi-ruh ke badan par
ek an-kahe khauf ki rida hai

munafiqat ki barahnagi kaise harf-e-aghaz ban gai hai
adu-e-danish ko kis jafa-kar maslahat ne

kalid-e-danish sipurd ki hai
adu-e-insaniyat ko kin chira-dastiyon ne

hukumat-e-kurra-e-zamin saunp di hai jis ne
bina-e-tahzib raund dali

ki ru-e-hasti se aks-e-tahzib ki darakhshan mataa ka nur mit raha hai
shaban-e-dijur ki siyahi umad rahi hai

wo tirgi hai har ek juya-e-haq se
tanwir-e-ilm-o-irfan kinara-kash hai
