Ab Bhi Tauheen-e-ita'at Nahin Hogi Hum Se

Ab bhi tauheen-e-ita'at nahin hogi hum se,
Dil nahin hoga to ba'iat nahin hogi hum se..

Roz ek taaza qaseeda nai tashbeeb ke saath,
Rizq bar-haq hai ye khidmat nahin hogi hum se..

Dil ke ma'abood jabeeno'n ke khudaai se alag,
Aise aalam mein ibaadat nahin hogi hum se..

Ujrat-e-ishq wafa hai to hum aise mazdoor,
Kuchh bhi kar lenge ye mehnat nahin hogi hum se..

Har nayi nasl ko ek taaza madine ki talaash,
Saahibo ab koi hijrat nahin hogi hum se.. 

Sukhan-aaraai ki surat to nikal sakti hai,
Par ye chakki ki mashaqqat nahin hogi hum se.!!
