shab ki aaghosh mein mahtab utara usne

darwaza-e-hasti se na imlak se nikla

KHun aansu ban gaya aaankhon mein bhar jaane ke baad

sukut us ka hai sabr-e-jamil ki surat

agar dasht-e-talab se dasht-e-imkani mein aa jate

jo bach gae hain charagh un ko bachae rakkho

KHasta-jaani mein koi shaKH hari chahte hain

zindagi yun bhi guzari ja rahi hai

dil mein hasrat koi bachi hi nahin

tirgi mein subh ki tanwir ban jaenge hum

chand sa chehra kuchh itna bebak hua

apne dukh-dard ka afsana bana laya hun

ujala jab shab-e-zulmat par utarta hai

KHak uDate hue ye marka sar karna hai

ye mat kaho ki bhiD mein tanha khaDa hun main
