Kitne jazbe the jabeen e paak me..
The ajab jazbe dil e bebaak me..

Aasmaan se kiun barasta he lahu?
Khoon roye he koi aflaak me?

Zndagi kiya he, faqat tinkun ka dhaer,
Aag sulga in khas o khashaak me..

Tum ne bhi koi kasar rakhi nahi,
Chaed kiya kam the meri poshaak me?

Yun faraeb e zindagi, Ya Rab, na de,
Ham kahan hain qissa e lolaak me !

Khaak he aagaz aur anjaam jab,
Kiun na ab khud ko mila den khaak me !

Zeest kar di tark ab me ne Safeer,
Kiya khabar kitne alam hon taak me..!
(Safeer Hussain Saffi..)
