Kyo’n kahte ho paao'n nahi ghar calta hai
aisi hii bato'n per khanjar chalta hai

aasooda hai kaun tamasha beeni se
aankhei'n thak jaati hai'n khanjar chalta hai

raat gaye aapas mei'n sab mil jaate hai'n
khawbo'n ki duniya mei'n bistar chalta hai

sheeshe ka ghar accha lagta hai lekin
sheeshe ki ghar per hii patther chalta hai

pyas bujhana sahil sahil jaaker kya
khud aayega khoob samundar chalta hai

bahar bahar yoo'n hii nahi'n mai'n betarteeb
tez hawa ka jhonka ander chalta hai

'Shahid' woh manzar kaisa hota hai jab
pagdandi per chaand utar kar chalta hai
