raat bhar shama jalata hun bujhata hun siraj

na mohtasib ki KHushamad na mai-kade ka tawaf

kahan hain aaj wo sham-e-watan ke parwane

namaz-e-ishq paDhi to magar ye hosh kise

har nafs utni hi lau dega siraj

KHabar rihai ki mil chuki hai charagh phulon ke jal rahe hain

ye aadhi raat ye kafir andhera

baDon-baDon ke qadam Dagmagae jate hain

dam-bar-dosh phiren chahe wo gesu bar-dosh

phir bhi peshani-e-tufan pe shikan baqi hai
