ba-surat-e-saza diye gae hain hum
hamin ko be-baha diye gae hain hum

nawed ho ai hakima nawed ho
subut the mita diye gae hain hum

hamari khak potli mein band thi
bahaw mein baha diye gae hain hum

wo husn ko jo aag ki lapet tha
ba-surat-e-hawa diye gae hain hum

ziyan-pasand shahr ke charagh the
so din mein hi jala diye gae hain hum

tumhein qubul ho tumhaara takhliya
khayal se utha diye gae hain hum
