aawargam-e-sahra ku-e-sanam na dhunden
jalwon ki wo bahaaren zulfon ke kham na dhunden

ai shahr-e-sang tujh mein zakhmon ki kya kami hai
tegh-e-ada-e-jalwa behtar hai hum na dhunden

wo aabru-e-wahshat laen to ab kahan se
wo jannat-e-tamanna wo dasht-e-gham na dhunden

hasil na hoga kuchh bhi juz dagh-o-dard-e-ibrat
ahl-e-wafa hamara naqsh-e-qadam na dhunden

maqsad hai sirf itna wadon ki chandni ka
khwab-e-sahar to dekhen tabir hum na dhunden

hum be-niyaz guzre shohrat ki sazishon se
nam-o-nishan hamara ahl-e-qalam na dhunden

jaan di 'sarosh' hum ne rah-e-khulus-e-gham mein
fard-e-amal hamari dair-o-haram na dhunden
