apnī har haar pe ik jashn manāte rahiye
zindagī bojh sahī bojh uThāte rahiye
koī aane ke liye koī to ho andar bhī
falsafe chhoḌiye zanjīr hilāte rahiye
raah chalne ke liye paañv zarūrī to nahīñ
sar nahīñ na sahī dastār sajāte rahiye
kyā zarūrī hai ki har kaam salīqe se ho
jazbe ThanDe sahī cigarette jalāte rahiye
koshish-e-rukniyat-e-urdu-academy na sahī
kam se kam she.rī pulande to chhapāte rahiye
āgahī jurm hai be-sūd hai bedārī ‘vasīm’
aap bhī soiye auroñ ko sulāte rahiye
