Qarz-e-nigah-e-yaar Ada Kar Chuke Hain Hum

Qarz-e-nigah-e-yaar ada kar chuke hain hum,
Sab kuchh nisaar-e-rah-e-wafa kar chuke hain hum,

Kuchh imtihan-e-dast-e-jafa kar chuke hain hum,
Kuchh un ki dastaras ka pata kar chuke hain hum,

Ab ahtiyaat ki koi surat nahin rahi,
Qaatil se rasm-o-raah siwa kar chuke hain hum,

Dekhein hai kaun kaun zarurat nahin rahi,
Ku-e-sitam mein sab ko khafa kar chuke hain hum,

Ab apna ikhtiyaar hai chaahe jahaan chalein 
Rahbar se apni raah juda kar chuke hain hum,

Un ki nazar mein kya karein pheeka hai ab bhi rang,
Jitna lahu tha sarf-e-qaba kar chuke hain hum,

Kuchh apne dil ki khu ka bhi shukraana chahiye,
Sau baar un ki khu ka gila kar chuke hain hum..!!
