Sun To Sahi Jahan Mein Hai Tera Fasana Kya;
Hai Tujh Ko Khalq-e-Khuda Ghabana Kya!
An To Kahan Hai Shola-e-Fanus Ki Tarah;
Ek Aag Si Bhari Hai Mire Pairahan Ke Biich!
Palak Jhapkte Hi Duniya Ujaad Deti Hai Wo Bastiyan,
Jinhen Baste Zamane Lagte Hain;
'Faraz' Milte Hain Gham Bhi Naseeb Walon Ko,
Har Ek Haath Kahan Yeh Khazane Lagte Hain!
Jab Zinda The Tab Kadra Na Ki;
Ab Mujhe Mere Janaze Par Koi Tamasha Nahi Chahiye!
Achha To Bahut Gurur Hai Tum Mein, Ise Zara Sambhal Ke Rakho;
Aur Mar Jaunga Tumhare Bina Main, Chalo Ye Veham Bhi Paal Ke Rakho!
Meri Talab Tha Ek Shakhs, Wo Jo Nahi Mila Toh Phir;
Haath Dua Se Yun Gira, Bhool Gaya Sawaal Bhi!
Kuch Is Adaa Se Nibhana Hai Kirdaar Mera Mujhko;
Jinhen Mohabbat Na Ho Mujhse Woh Nafrat Bhi Na Kar Sake!
Dekhi Jo Meri Nabz Toh Ek Lamha Soch Kar;
Kagaz Liya Aur Ishq Ka Beemar Likh Diya!
Ek Talwar Ki Keemat Hoti Hai Uski Dhaar Se,
Insaan Ki Keemat Hoti Hai Uske Vyavhaar Se!
Khatam Karo Mayusi Aur Sab Nafratein;
Dil Rabb Ka Ghar Koi Asthaan Ya Koi Iblees Nahi!
