kabhee jumood kabhee sirf intishaar saa hai
jahaan ko apnee tabaahee ka intizaar saa hai

Manu ki macchlee na kashtee-e-Nooh aur ye fizaa
ke qatre qatre mein tuufaaN be-qaraar saa hai

main kisko apne girebaan ke chaak dikhlaaoon
ke aaj daaman-e-yazdaan bhee taar-taar saa hai

sajaa-sanvaar ke jisko hazaar naaz kiye
usee par Khaaliq-e-Kaunain sharm-saar saa hai

sab apne paanv pe rakh-rakh ke paanv chalte hain
Khud apne kaandhe per har aadmee savaar saa hai

jise pukaariye miltaa hai Khandar se javaab
jise bhee dekhiye maazii ke ishtehaar saa hai

huee to kaise bayaanaaN mein aa ke shaam huee
ke jo mazaar yahaan hai, meraa mazaar saa hai

koee to sood chukaaye, koee to zimmaa le
us inqilaab kaa, jo aaj tak udhaar saa hai
