charagh-e-dard ki sham-e-tarab pukarti hai
ek aag si lab-e-dariya-e-shab pukarti hai

adu se jaan bachchi hai na dost bichhde hain
ye sham-e-girya hamein be-sabab pukarti hai

charagh-e-shauq pe rah rah ke nur aata hai
hawa ba-tarz-e-rukh-o-chashm-o-lab pukarti hai

shahid-e-ab-o-namak hain so badhte jate hain
shikast o fath piyaadon ko kab pukarti hai

sadaen de ke bulati hai shah-banu-e-shahr
faqir jis ke hain dekhen wo kab pukarti hai

main jaise din ki tab-o-tab se pareshan hun
ba-waqt-e-sham khushi ek ajab pukarti hai

hum aise kaun anokhe tulua hote hain
jo hum ko dekh ke duniya ghazab pukarti hai
