phaili hui hai sari dishaon mein raushni
lekin nahin charagh ki chhanw mein raushni

ab to panapne wali hain raushan-khayaliyan
aai nai nai mere ganw mein raushni

ek hath dusre ko sujhai na de magar
hum ne chhupa rakhi hai ridaon mein raushni

din-o-mashiyat-o-siyasat ke peshwa
zehnon mein tirgi to adaon mein raushni

sab log mashalon ki tamanna mein khar the
garche padi thi apne hi panw mein raushni

'zishan' siyahiyon ke numainda bhi hain hum
aur hum hi chahte hain ataon mein raushni
