kahiye gar rabt muddai se hai
kahte hain dosti tujhi se hai
dekhiye aage aage kya kuchh ho
dil ki harkat ye kuchh abhi se hai
us ki ulfat men jite-ji marna
faeda ye bhi zindagi se hai
zid hai gar hai to ho sabhi ke saath
ya na milne ki zid mujhi se hai
ḳhauf se tum se kah nahin sakte
dil men ik aarzu kabhi se hai
mujh se puchho ho kis se ulfat hai
tum samajhte nahin kisi se hai
ranjish-e-ghair se nahin matlab
kaam ham ko tiri ḳhushi se hai
is qadar aap ham pe zulm karen
is ka insaf aap hi se hai
rashk dushman na sah sakega ‘nizam’
ye bhi na-char apne ji se hai
