Sach ka zaher..

mere Khudaa mujhe itnaa to mo’atbar kar de
maiN jis makaan meN rahtaa huuN use ghar kar de

ye roshnii ke ta’aqqub meN bhaagtaa hu’aa din
jo thak gayaa hai to ab is ko muKhtasar kar de
...
maiN zindagii kii du’aa maangne lagaa huuN bahut
jo ho sake to duaaoN ko be-asar kar de

sitaaraa-e-sahrii Duubne ko aayaa hai
zaraa ko’ii mere suuraj ko baa-Khabar kar de

qabiila-vaar kamaaneN kaRakne vaalii haiN
mere lahuuu kii gavaahii mujhe niDar kar de

maiN apne Khvaab se kaT kar jiyuuN to mere Khudaa
ujaaR de merii miTTii ko dar-ba-dar kar de

merii zamiin meraa aaKhrii havaalaa hai
so maiN rahuuN na rahuuN is ko baaravar kar de
