charagh-e-shauq lahu se jala diya hum ne
ek aur qissa-e-wahshat suna diya hum ne

jo mauj sar ko patakti rahi hai sahil se
usi ko ru-kash-e-tufan bana diya hum ne

nae jo ham-safar-e-kesh-e-ishq hain un ko
maal-e-soz-e-mohabbat bana diya hum ne

basan-e-khana-ba-doshan kai hai umr apni
jahan qayam kiya ghar bana diya hum ne

bujhi bujhi si rahe sham-e-arzu sar-e-bazm
so raushni ke liye dil jala diya hum ne

zamin-e-shor lagi dasht-e-arzu mein jahan
wahin pe ishq ka pauda laga diya hum ne

chale hain rah-guzar-e-shauq par hawa ki tarah
jo aaya samne 'rahi' hata diya hum ne
