"Dil men uthte hue jazbat se dar jate hain Zahn men palte khayalat se dar jate hain Hum to tufanon se ladne ka hunar rakhte the Aaj kya bat hai har bat se dar jate hain Ghair jo zakhm de to zakhm bhi sah lete hain Hum magar apnon ki saughat se dar jate hain Dard sahne ki humen ho gayi aadat ab hum Chain o rahat se bhari rat se dar jate hain Zjndagi azm o himmat se humen jeeni thi Hum magar roz ki aafat se dar jate hain Rab ki ik zat se darna hai zaroori lekin Chhod ke us ko har ik zat se dar jate hain Ek rab ka na raha dil men taqaddus Shakir Is liye qabr o mazarat se dar jate hain ©Karim Shakir"
