ek aag phir bhaDak uTThi hai dida o dil mein

ye alag baat zaban sath na de paegi

na mile wo to talash uski bhi rahti hai mujhe

shumar main na karunga firaq ke shab o roz

ajnabi shahron mein tujhko DhunDhta hun jis tarah

KHabar nahin ki KHala kis jagah pe ho maujud

safar-e-shauq hai bujhte hue sahraon mein

hamare shahr mein hai wo gurez ka aalam

naqsh-e-hairat ban gai duniya sitaron ki tarah

paikar-e-gul aasmanon ke liye betab hai

husn bazar ki zinat hai magar hai to sahi

ab apne chehre par do patthar se sajae phirta hun

aankh uTha ke meri samt ahl-e-nazar na dekh pae

tujh mein kas-bal hai to duniya ko baha kar le ja

na sahi kuchh magar itna to kiya karte the
