Maine Haathon Se Bujhai Hai Dehakti Hui Aag;
Apne Bachhe Ke Khilono Ko Bachane Ke Liye!
Keh Raha Hai Shor-e-Dariya Se Samandar Ka Sukut;
Jis Ka Jitna Zarf Hai Utna Hi Wo Khamosh Hai!
Lage Munh Bhi Chidhane Dete Dete Gaaliyan Sahab;
Zuban Bigdi To Bigdi Thi Khabar Lijiye Dahan Bigda!
Kaise Akash Mein Sooraḳh Nahin Ho Sakta;
Ek Patthar To Tabiyat Se Uchhalo Yaaro!
Ik Roz Cheen Legi Humin Se Zameen Humein;
Cheenenge Kya Zameen Ke Khazane Zameen Se Hum!
Kaum Angdai Le Raha Hai 'Adam';
Do Jahan Ladkhada Jaate Hain!
Ghar Ko Khojein Raat Din Ghar Se Nikle Paanv;
Wo Rasta Hi Kho Gaya Jis Raste Tha Gaanv!
Shehar Ke Andhere Ko Ek Chirag Kaafi Hai;
Sau Chirag Jalte Hain Ek Chirag Jalne Se!
Thakna Bhi Lazmi Tha Kuch Kaam Karte Karte;
Kuch Aur Thak Gaya Hun Aaram Karte Karte!
Fasl-e-Bahar Aayi Piyo Sufiyon Sharab;
Bas Ho Chuki Namaz Musalla Uthaiye!
