ek ajab aag si hai sine mein
jaise ho sina-e-shamshir ki aag

ek ajab aag si hai baatin mein
jaise ho nala-e-shabgir ki aag

jaise ek shoala-e-jawwala falak ko chhu le
sina-e-sard mein mere hai wahi aag abhi

toda-e-barf se jo bujh na sake
ban ke shoala ye badhi jati hai

su-e-aflak uthi jati hai
us ki zad mein hain

ye ashya-e-nizam-e-alam
bas ki ek khauf hai pahlu mein mere

apni hi aag se afkar na jal jaen kahin
sochta hun ki dua hi mangun

mere aatish-kada-e-sina ko
mera rab lutf-o-karam ka koi chashma kar de
