jism faulaad ka, majnu ka jigar rakhte thhe
hum bhi takht-o-taj palatne ka hunar rakhte thhe
koi kya humko roke, koi kyun aansu bahaaye
jo nikle ghar se to seene pe pathhar rakhte thhe
dushwariyan safar ki kyunkar ho mahsoos
hum to manzil pe apni nazar rakhte thhe
rah-e-inqalaab ki shab taareek se thhi rindaan
aankhon mein apni chhupaye khwab-e-sehar rakhte thhe
