dagh-e-sina markaz-e-tanwir hai
dil ka chhaala chand ki taswir hai

zindagi kiya hai koi samjhae to
khwab hai ya khwab ki tabir hai

chain se zindan mein baithe ab junun
panw mein chakkar nahin zanjir hai

phunk dengi nafraten ghar aap ka
nam darwaze pe kyun tahrir hai

ghar ka ek naqsha bana leti hai roz
ye jo dil mein hasrat-e-tamir hai

hum aman pate the jis ke sae mein
wo shajar ab dhup ki taswir hai

kis ke wade par karen hum e'tibar
kis ke mathe pe wafa tahrir hai
