bujhi bujhi hai sada-e-naghma kahin kahin hain rabab raushan
thahar thahar ke gire hain aansu bikhar bikhar ke hain khwab raushan

sawal mabhut se khade hain ki jaise sinon mein dil nahin hain
ufuq ke us par ja ke dekho shikasta muztar jawab raushan

wo bekasi hai ki al-atash ki sadaen khamosh ho gai hain
kahan hai koi husain yaro ki har taraf hai sarab raushan

ajib ghamnak hain hawaen lahu lahu hai faza-e-ganga
tadapti maujen shikasta kashti bujhe diye aur habab raushan

ghulam gardish mein hai andhera hai dam-ba-khud surkh sa sawera
kafan pahan kar nikal chuke hain gharib 'baqar' nawab-raushan
