kahin aah ban ke lab par tera nam aa na jae

mahtab-sifat log yahan KHak-basar hain

zarre hi sahi koh se Takra to gae hum

watan ko kuchh nahin KHatra nizam-e-zar hai KHatre mein

kya kya log guzar jate hain rang-birangi caron mein

ye aur baat teri gali mein na aaen hum

apnon ne wo ranj diye hain begane yaad aate hain

ye soch kar na mail-e-fariyaad hum hue

humne dil se tujhe sada mana

log giton ka nagar yaad aaya

jhuTi KHabren ghaDne wale jhuTe sher sunane wale

kabhi to mehrban ho kar bula len

har-gam par the shams-o-qamar us dayar mein

ye ujDe bagh virane purane

wo dekhne mujhe aana to chahta hoga
