ai KHarabaat ke KHudawando

dafn hain sagharon mein hangame

mayus ho gai hai dua bhi jabin bhi

ruh ko ek aah ka haq hai

kitni sadiyon se azmat-e-adam

bahr-e-alam be-kinara hai

ek shikasta se maqbare ke qarib

aur arman ek nikal jata

sham hai aur par naddi ke

gulsitanon mein ghum leta hun

KHu-e-lail-o-nahaar dekhi hai

jam uTha aur faza ko raqsan kar

muflison ko amir kahte hain

ai gadagar KHuda ka nam na le

surat ke aaine mein dil-e-paemal dekh
