charagh hathon ke bujh rahe hain sitara har rah-guzar mein rakh de
utar de chand us ke dar par siyah din mere ghar mein rakh de

kahin kahin koi rabt-e-makhfi ibarat-e-muntashar mein rakh de
gurez par hain nishan sare taraf bhi koi safar mein rakh de

talab talab aaina-sifat hai kharab-o-khasta hain aks sare
ye nekiyan bhi hain sar-barahna latafat-e-khair shar mein rakh de

nashat-awar hai ye udasi ka ek udta hua sa lamha
mabaada taq-e-raja ho viran sharara ek chashm-e-tar mein rakh de

ye sarf-o-hasil-gazida duniya na din hi mere na meri raaten
kahan talak dekhta hi jaun samaaten kuchh nazar mein rakh de

mere khuda mere jism-o-jaan ke khuda mere hath jhad na jaen
dua tah-e-sang-e-lab gadi hai asar zara sa asar mein rakh de

badan hai ya qila-e-hawa hai kahin se aaun kahin se jaun
hazaron rakhne pade hue hain utha ke diwar dar mein rakh de
