Ham kia kerte kis rah chalte
her rah main kaNtay bikhray thay
un rishtoN ke jo choot gaye
un sadiyon k yaranoN ke
jo ik ik ker ke choot gaye
jis simt gaye jis rah chalay
yooN paooN lahoo luhan hue
sab dekhne wale kehtay thay
ye kaise reet racahai hai
ye mehndi kiyon lagai hai
kiyon rah-e-wafa ka galiyoN main
yooN nahaq charcha kerte ho
paoon se lahoo ko dho dalo
tum dil ko sambhalo
jis main abhi
so tarha ke nashtar chubhne hain 
(Faiz Ahmad Faiz)
