aaj phir sar-e-maqtal de ke KHud lahu humne

aah ye daur ki jis mein lab-o-ruKHsar bike

har-chand husn-saz hun paikar-tarash hun

ghair-mumkin hai ki miT jae sanam ki surat

shiddat-e-shauq asar-KHez hai jadu ki tarah

apna nafas nafas hai ki shoala kahen jise

nur se lakh iKHtilaf karo

jo dasht-e-tamanna mein har waqt bhaTakta hai

apna nafas nafas hai ki shoala kahen jise

gham bhi hai kaif bhi hai soz bhi hai saz bhi hai

rah-rau chup hain rahbar KHamosh
