Khoob socha tha ki hamara bhi ek muqaam hoga;
Nahi pata tha mera, yahi anzaam hoga......................

Haar jaunga mushqilon se ab rehne do;
Nahi pata tha mera, itna imtehan hoga...............

Na laata naam kabhi apni zuban pe, gar pata hota;
Bewajah sath mere tu bhi badnaam hoga............

Apne khwabon ko deewar pe lagaya nahi karta;
Kya pata tha wahi ghar raakh ke naam hoga..................

Ghar se nikla tha ,justazoon me teri laut aaya;
Nahi laga ki ye tamasha bhi sare-aam hoga.................

Jaun kaha ki ghar se beghar kar diya mujhko;
Mere qatl ka ilzaam bhi tere naam hoga................

Meri wafaon ka kuch to sila do "shahid";
Mera to ho gaya, tumhara bhi kaam tamaam hoga.................
