Lab pe pabandi nahi ehsas pe pahra to hai,
Phir bhi ahal e dil ko ahwaal e bashar kahna to hai,
Apni ghairat bech dale’n apna maslaq chhor de’n,
Rahnumao’n may bhi kuch logo’n ko ye mansha to hai,
Hai jinhe’n sab se zyada dawa e hubb e watan,
Aaj un ki wajah se hubb e watan ruswa to hai,
Bujh rahe hai’n ek ek kar ke aqido’n ke diye,
Is andhere ka bhi lekin saamna karana to hai,
Jhuth kyu’n bole’n farogh e maslahat ke naam par,
Zindagi pyari sahi lekin hamay marna to hai.
