Talwar le rahe the hemayat me phool ki
patjhar ke morcho'n mei'n ajab hamne bhool ki

apne lahoo se hamne shaam ko serab kar diya
din bhar ke intezaar ki qeemat wasool ki

bikhra hai is tarah se har ik zarrae wajood
soorat nahii hai koi bhi apne hasool ki

hamdardiyo'n ke teer se zakhmi naa kar mazeed
hamne to khud chunii thee yeh rahe' n babool ki

khushboo ki tarah ham hain kharabi mei'n dahar kii
yeh shakhe gul palii thee fazao'n mei'n dhool ki
