safar ka rang hasin qurbaton ka hamil ho

dil ka har zaKHm teri yaad ka ek phul bane

kin shahidon ke lahu ke ye farozan hain charagh

hamein bhi ab dar o diwar ghar ke yaad aae

kahiye aaina-e-sad-fasl-e-bahaaran tujhko

ek aansu yaad ka Tapka to dariya ban gaya

hum sar-e-rah-e-wafa usko sada kya dete

ye tilism-e-mausam-e-gul nahin ki ye mojaza hai bahaar ka

gulnar maslahat ki zaban mein na baat kar

ek parchhain tasawwur ki mere sath rahe

baghair samt ke chalna bhi kaam aa hi gaya

kya baat hai kyun shahr mein ab ji nahin lagta

wo charagh-e-zist ban kar rah mein jalta raha
