Teergi main subh ki

Teergi main subh ki tanveer ban jayen ge hum,

Khawb tum dekho ge aur tabeer ban jayen ge hum,

Ab ke yeh socha hai gar azaad tum ne kar diya,
Khud hi apne paaon ki zanjeer ban jayen ge hum,

Aansuon se likh rahe hain bebasi ki dastan,
Lag raha hai dard ki tasveer ban jayen ge hum,

Likh na paye jo kisi ki neem-baaz ankhon ka raaz,
Woh yeh vaada kar rahe hain, meer ban jayen ge hum,

Gar yun hi badhta raha shughal-e-mai-kashi,
Ek din is mai-kade ke peer ban jayen ge hum,

Us ne bhi auron ke jaise kiya hum se salook,
Jo yeh kehta tha teri taqdeer ban jayen ge hum..
