dhup boli ki main aabai watan hun tera

jaan ye sarkashi-e-jism tere bas ki nahin

us jagah ja ke wo baiTha hai bhari mahfil mein

ban na paya hir, ranjha ab bhi ranjha hai bahut

ek bose ke bhi nasib na hon

log yun jate nazar aate hain maqtal ki taraf

shusta zaban shagufta bayan honTh gul-fishan

aankh bhar dekh lo ye virana

hamara zinda rahna aur marna ek jaisa hai

be-badan ruh bane phirte rahoge kab tak

tu faraham na ho mujhko ye hai marzi teri

ye shahr wo hai ki koi KHushi to kya deta

hijr o visal charagh hain donon tanhai ke taqon mein

meri ek umr aur ek ahd ki tariKH raqam hai jis par

jism ka kuza hai apna aur na ye dariya-e-jaan
