baad muddat ke hawa aisi chali hai yaro
un ki har baat mere ji ko lagi hai yaro

imtizaj aah-o-fughan nala-o-fariyaad ka hai
zindagi dard ke sanche mein dhali hai yaro

jazba-e-josh-e-junun ka yahi anjam to hai
umr bhar mashghala-e-jama-dari hai yaro

yahan har samt mere khun ki gul-kari hai
ye na bhulo mere qatil ki gali hai yaro

bartaraf kar diya tha us ne jahan se hum ko
khak us kuche ki bhi hum ne mali hai yaro

qatra-e-ashk ke asbab-o-khalal bhi na chhupe
jab se rone ki ye aadat si padi hai yaro

ye tamanna ki milen subh-e-qayamat mein hum
badi mushkil se ek ek raat kati hai yaro

fatiha ab to padho ashk baha lo tum bhi
ab hamein apni qaza le ke chali hai yaro

dil ki dhadkan bhi 'shafaq' tez hui jati hai
un ke qadmon ki jo aahat si suni hai yaro
