kahin sharminda na ho rasm-e-wafa mere baad
mere mazi ko na do meri saza mere baad

aisa lagta hai ki sab khun ke pyase hain yahan
hae is shahr ka kya haal hua mere baad

tishna-lab aur bhi aaenge yahan meri tarah
kaun dega unhen jine ki dua mere baad

mujh pe hi khatm hua qahr zamane-bhar ka
phir kisi aur ka daman na jala mere baad

ek hi shab mein bane log masiha kitne
shahr mein phir koi qatil na raha mere baad

ab to apnon mein bhi agli si sharafat na rahi
rishta-e-mehr-o-wafa tut gaya mere baad

ghaaliban main hi yahan lala-e-sahra tha 'rais'
phir na sahra mein koi phul khila mere baad
