kya karen jam-o-subu hath pakaD lete hain

hansi bismil ki haalat par kisi ko

ghairon ne ghair jaan ke hum ko uTha diya

dekha na tumne aankh uTha kar bhi ek bar

ho na mayus KHuda se bismil

waqt aane de dikha denge tujhe ai aasman

rahraw-e-rah-e-mohabbat rah na jaana rah mein

aazadi ne bazu bhi salamat nahin rakkhe

majburiyon ko apni kahen kya kisi se hum

bayaban-e-junun mein sham-e-ghurbat jab sataya ki

chaman ko lag gai kis ki nazar KHuda jaane

KHizan jab tak chali jati nahin hai

bismil buton ka ishq mubarak tumhein magar

sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai

ye zindagi bhi koi zindagi hui bismil
