qafas walon ki bhi kya zindagi hai

main ye to nahin kahta ki bashar dawa-e-KHudai kar baiThe

kam se kam maut se aisi mujhe ummid nahin

farsh-e-mai-KHana pe jalte chale jate hain charagh

ikka-dukka sada-e-zanjir

ahbab se rakhta hun kuchh ummid-e-KHurafat

kahan har ek se bar-e-nashat uThta hai

ek fusun-saman nigah-e-ashna ki der thi

ye mana inqalab-e-zindagi mein lakh KHatre hain

mere dil se kabhi ghafil na hon KHuddam-e-mai-KHana

main hun dil hai tanhai hai

sunte hain ishq nam ke guzre hain ek buzurg

sar mein sauda bhi nahin dil mein tamanna bhi nahin

main aaj sirf mohabbat ke gham karunga yaad

parda-e-lutf mein ye zulm-o-sitam kya kahiye
