ye nadi warna to kab ki paar thii
mere raaste men ana deewaar thii
aap ko kya ilm hai is baat ka
zindagi mushkil nahin dushwaar thii
theen kamaanein dushmanon ke haath men
aur mere haath men talwaar thii
jal ga.e ik roz suraj se charaaghh
raushni ko raushni darkaar thii
aaj duniya ke labon par muhr hai
kal talak haan sahib-e-guftaar thii
