sawad-e-sham na rang-e-sahar ko dekhte hain

nahin aasman teri chaal mein nahin aaunga

sar-ba-sar paikar-e-izhaar mein lata hai mujhe

raqs-e-sharar kya ab ke wahshat-nak hua

badan-sarab na dariya-e-jaan se milta hai

chaDha hua tha wo dariya agar hamare liye

ye kaisa KHun hai ki bah raha hai na jam raha hai

bichhaD ke KHak hue hum to kya zara dekho

hum ko aawargi kis dasht mein lai hai ki ab

tariki ke raat azab hi kya kam the
