ab kisee ko bhee nazar aatee nahin koee daraar
ghar kee har deevaar par chipake hain itane ishtahaar
aap bach kar chal saken aisee koee soorat nahin
rahaguzar ghere hue murde khade hain beshumaar
roz akhabaaron mein padhakar yah khyaal aaya hamen
is taraf aatee to ham bhee dekhate fasle—bahaar
main bahut kuchh sochata rahata hoon par kahata nahin
bolana bhee hai mana sach bolana to darakinaar
is sire se us sire tak sab shareeke—jurm hain
aadamee ya to zamaanat par riha hai ya faraar
haalate—insaan par baraham na hon ahale—vatan
vo kaheen se zindagee bhee maang laayenge udhaar
raunaqe-jannat zara bhee mujhako raas aaee nahin
main jahannum mein bahut khush tha mere paravaradigaar
dastakon ka ab kivaadon par asar hoga zaroor
har hathelee khoon se tar aur zyaada beqaraar
