Maut o hayat ka usool hum ko sikha diya gaya
Shaam-e-gham-e-Husain mein naam-e-Ali liya gaya
Asghar-e-sheerkhwaar ki yaad achanak aa gayi
Pyaas bohat shadeed thi, paani nahin piya gaya
Khaimay jala diye gaye, phir yeh fazool behas hai
Aisay nahin kiya gaya, waisay nahin kiya gaya
Hukm-e-Nabi ko chhor kar, saaray usool torh kar
Bachay se itna khauf tha, paani nahin diya gaya
Gham ne shadeed kar diya, chaak mazeed kar diya
Seena hamara phat gaya, zakhm nahin siya gaya
