badan mein rang bhare lahlha rahe hain charagh
mahak rahi hai faza muskura rahe hain charagh

ujale dube hue hain ghane andheron mein
ajab safar hai bahut yaad aa rahe hain charagh

khuda kare ki unhen ye milap ras aae
hawaon se jo talluq badha rahe hain charagh

surur-e-lams ka ab sham lutf uthaegi
ki din guzar gaya nazdik aa rahe hain charagh

tamam raat jale ab ye khauf kaisa hai
hawa-e-subh se daman bacha rahe hain charagh

wo de rahe hain hamein bujh ke bhi payam-e-hayat
hamein andheron mein jina sikha rahe hain charagh

ujale bant rahe hain siyah raaton ko
ye aur baat ki khud ko jala rahe hain charagh

visal-o-hijr ke mausam guzar gae ki 'bashir'
jala rahe hain na hum ab bujha rahe hain charagh
