nashtar si dil mein chubhti hui baat le chalen
aae hain to khulus ki saughat le chalen

viraniyon ke ghar mein mera dam hi ghut na jae
aa ai khayal-e-yar tujhe sath le chalen

jab raushni thi chalta tha saya bhi sath sath
ab hai andheri raat kise sath le chalen

jis mein umid-o-yas fareb-e-nazar rahi
is haft-khwan-e-gham ki riwayat le chalen

sham-e-umid jis mein farozan na ho saki
ab us ki bazm-e-naz mein wo raat le chalen

kuchh bekason ke ghar jale kuchh be-dayar hain
un ke huzur ashkon ki barsat le chalen

rang-e-shafaq mein khun-e-shahidan hai jalwa-gar
apne azim mulk ki saughat le chalen

apne nagar mein bas yahi kirchen hain har taraf
kuchh gauhar-e-talafi-e-mafat le chalen
