ba-nam-e-amn-o-aman kaun mara jaega

ba-nam-e-amn-o-aman kaun mara jaega
na jaane aaj yahan kaun mara jaega
liye hue hain sabhi apna sar hatheli par
kise khabar hai kahan kaun mara jaega


ajib marka barpa hai
kuchh khabar hi nahin
kise milegi aman kaun mara jaega
namaz padhne ki mohlat mile


mile na mile!
na jaane waqt-e-azan kaun mara jaega
jo tir bhi hai
itaat-guzar hai us ka


ye jaanti hai kaman kaun mara jaega
kiye gae hain jo itne hifazati iqdam
ye dekhna hai yahan kaun mara jaega
kisi ke lab pe 'nasim'-e-sahar dua kaisi


yahi hai wird-e-zaban kaun mara jaega
