Kuch is tarah ruswa hokar hum chale is jahaan se,

Kuch is tarah ruswa hokar hum chale is jahaan se,
Insaan hokar bhi hamdardi na pa sake hum insaan se,
Jeete ji beintaha julmo ka shikaar hue so hue,
Kambakht marne bhi na diya kisi ne itminaan se,
Be elam or be adab duniya ka jara dastoor to dekho,
Talaashi kafan ki bhi li sabhi ne bade dhyaan se,
Jalaane chale to hazoom umad pada janaaze ke piche,
Jinda the to nafrat thi sabhi ko mere makaam se,
Bhul kar bhi khud se jyada na dete tabazoo kisi ko,
Kaash hum waakif hote is duniya baeimaan se.
