Ab tak na samaj paye mera shor-e-fughaan b
Tum log to parh letay ho ankhon ki zuban b,
Khat is liye shayad mujay ab tum nahi likhtay
Kaghaz py utar aaty hen sanson k nishan b,
Shohrat say faqat is liye aata hay mujay khof
Mash’hoor na ho jaye mera zakhm-e-nihaan b,
Is dard k rishtay me to yksan hen shb-o-roz
Jo haal tumhara hay wo aalam hay yahan b,
Kuch wo b dukhi dil liye aya tha meray pas
Kuch dard bhara tha mera andaz-e-bayaan b.
