lahu jala ke ujale luta raha hai charagh
ki zindagi ka saliqa sikha raha hai charagh

wufur-e-shauq mein laila-e-shab ke chehre se
naqab-e-zulf-e-pareshan utha raha hai charagh

hamare sath purane sharik-e-gham ki tarah
azab-e-hijr ke sadme utha raha hai charagh

ye raushni ka payambar hai is ki baat suno
sadaqaton ke sahife suna raha hai charagh

shab-e-siyah ka aaseb talne ke liye
tamam umr sharik-e-dua raha hai charagh

hawa-e-dahr chali hai badi raunat se
dayar ishq mein koi jala raha hai charagh

wo hath bhi yad-e-baiza se kam nahin 'ajiz'
jo khak-e-arz-e-watan se bana raha hai charagh
