Mar ke bhi chain na paya to kidhar jayenge

Tum ne Thahrayee agar Gair ke ghar jaane ki

To iraade yahaan kuchh aur Thahar jaayenge

Ham nahin vo, jo karen Khoon kaa dava tujh par


Balqi puchhegaa Khuda bhi to mukar jaayenge

Aag dozakh ki bhi ho jaayegi paani paani


Jab ye aasi arq-e-sharm se tar jaayenge

Sholaa-e-aah ko bijali ki tarah chamakaun

Par mujhe Dar hai, ki vo dekh kar Dar jaayenge

Laaye jo mast hain turbat pe gulaabi aankhen

Aur agar kuchh nahin, do phool to dhar jaayenge

Nahin paayegaa nishaan koi hamaara hargiz

Ham jahaan se ravish-e-tir-e-nazar jaayenge

Pahunchenge rahaguzar-e-yaar talak ham kyun kar

Pahle jab tak na do aalam se guzar jaayenge

‘Zauq’ jo madarase ke bigare hue hain mullaah

Unko maikhaane men le aao sanvar jaayenge
