aaj phir sar-e-maqtal de ke khud lahu hum ne
tegh-e-dast-e-qatil ki rakh li aabru hum ne

jaan-e-ghuncha-o-lala ruh-e-rang-o-bu hum ne
aap ko banaya hai kitna khub-ru hum ne

jab bhi lutf-e-saqi mein farq aate dekha hai
badh ke tod dale hain saghar-o-subu hum ne

barha zabanon par lag gai hai pabandi
barha nigahon se ki hai guftugu hum ne

rah-e-shauq mein aksar wo bhi waqt aaya hai
jab kiya hai hathon se khun-e-arzu hum ne

shahr ho bayaban ho dar ho ki zindan ho
naghme zindagi hi ke gae chaar-su hum ne
