tah-ba-tah dil ki kudurat
meri aankhon mein umand aai to kuchh chaara na tha

chaara-gar ki man li
aur main ne gard-alud aankhon ko lahu se dho liya

main ne gard-alud aankhon ko lahu se dho liya
aur ab har shakl-o-surat

aalam-e-maujud ki har ek shai
meri aankhon ke lahu se is tarah ham-rang hai

khurshid ka kundan lahu
mahtab ki chandi lahu

subhon ka hansna bhi lahu
raaton ka rona bhi lahu

har shajar minar-e-khun har phul khun-dida hai
har nazar ek tar-e-khun har aks khun-baalida hai

mauj-e-khun jab tak rawan rahti hai us ka surkh rang
jazba-e-shauq-e-shahadat dard, ghaiz o gham ka rang

aur tham jae to kajla kar
faqat nafrat ka shab maut ka

har ek rang ke matam ka rang
chaara-gar aisa na hone de

kahin se la koi sailab-e-ashk
aab-e-wazu

jis mein dhul jaen to shayad dhul sake
meri aankhon meri gard-alud aankhon ka lahu
