wo aarzu ki dilon ko udas chhoD gai

wo gum hue hain musafir rah-e-tamanna mein

tilism-e-lafz-o-maani ko tar tar karen

raushni tak raushni ka rasta kah lijiye

apni lau mein koi Duba hi nahin

dast-e-shabnam pe dam-e-shoala-nawai na rakho

chashm-e-hairan ko yun hi mahw-e-nazar chhoD gae

aazad nahin zehn abhi fikr-e-badan se

patthar ki nind soti hai basti jagaiye

aahaTon se dimagh jalta hai

sharh-e-jamal kije shahadat ke ma-siwa

bujhte suraj ke sharare nur barsane lage

aaina-dil dagh-e-tamanna ke liye tha

haq-nawai ko zamane ki zaban kaun kare

hum ruh-e-kaenat hain naqsh-e-asas hain
