malte hain KHub-ru tere KHeme se chhatiyan

bose hain be-hisab har din ke

main kya dikhai deti nahin bulbulon ko bhi

bosa-e-lab ghair ko dete ho tum

KHaksaron mein nahin aisi kisi ki tauqir

bismilon se bosa-e-lab ka jo wada ho gaya

shaiKH le hai rah kabe ki barahman dair ki

galiyan zaKHm-e-kuhan ko dekh kar deti ho kyun

kalkatta mein har dam hai munir aapko wahshat

iKHtilat apne anasir mein nahin

ho gaya hun main naqab-e-ru-e-raushan par faqir

hath milwate ho tarsae gilauri ke liye

jab baDh gai umr ghaT gai zist

surKHi shafaq ki zard ho galon ke samne

wird-e-ism-e-zat khola chahta hai ye girah
