daem aabaad rahegi duniya

nai duniya ke hangamon mein nasir

hamare ghar ki diwaron pe nasir

apni dhun mein rahta hun

akele ghar se puchhti hai be-kasi

mujhe ye Dar hai teri aarzu na miT jae

main to bite dinon ki khoj mein hun

is shahr-e-be-charagh mein jaegi tu kahan

tanab-e-KHema-e-gul tham nasir

unhen sadiyon na bhulega zamana

aanch aati hai tere jism ki uryani se

wo koi dost tha achchhe dinon ka

ye subh ki safediyan ye dopahar ki zardiyan

gae dinon ka suragh le kar kidhar se aaya kidhar gaya wo

na ab wo yaadon ka chaDhta dariya na fursaton ki udas barkha
