bujh gae sare charagh-e-jism-o-jaan tab dil jala
khalq ki khatir hamara murshid-e-kaamil jala

kuchh bhi dariya ne madad apne padosi ki na ki
dur tak pani hi pani tha magar sahil jala

raushni mein ek alag si raushni shamil hui
aaj lagta hai ki phir koi sar-e-mahfil jala

dekhte hi aag patthar ho gaya kaghaz ka jism
wo jise aasan jalna tha bahut mushkil jala

ab rukh-e-laila nahin hoga kabhi parda-nashin
shahr ke aatish-kade mein parda-e-mahmil jala

shahr mein bhadki hui thi wasl ki aag aur idhar
farhat-ehsas aap apne hijr mein til til jala
