khud ko sharar shumar kiya aur jal bujhe
ek shola-rukh se pyar kiya aur jal bujhe

ek raat mein simat gai kul umr-e-arzu
ek umr intizar kiya aur jal bujhe

pichhle janam ki rakh se le kar naya janam
phir rakh ko sharar kiya aur jal bujhe

hum bhi nasib se jo sitara-nasib the
suraj ka intizar kiya aur jal bujhe

hum raushni-e-taba se shola-faroz the
har tirgi pe war kiya aur jal bujhe
