Woh zulm-o-sitam dhaaye aur mujh se wafa mange..

Woh zulm-o-sitam dhaaye aur mujh se wafa mangay,
Jaise koi gul kar ke deepak se ziyaa mangay,

jeena bari naimat hai jeene ka chalan sikhen,
Acha to nahin koi marne ki duaa mangay,

Gham bhi hai udaasi bhi tanhai bhi aansu bhi,
Sab kuch to mayassar hai dil mangay to kya mangay,

Auqaat hai kya us ki woh pesh-e-nazar rakhe,
Insan na koi apne daaman se siva mangay,

Phir chehra-e-qatil ki nazron ko zaroorat hai,
Phir kuucha-e-qatil ki dil aaab-o-havaa mangay..
