dil mein ho dard-e-ishq labon par fughan na ho
mumkin nahin ki aag lage aur dhuan na ho

ghairat ye chahti hai ki is rah par chalo
jis rah mein kisi ke qadam ka nishan na ho

manzil ki justuju hai to ai rahrawan-e-ishq
tanha-rawi ho pairawi-e-karwan na ho

hum gardish-e-falak se kahan bach ke jaenge
wo kaun si zamin hai jahan aasman na ho

tere sitam ki khair bas itna rahe khayal
wo gham na bakhshna jo gham-e-jawedan na ho

hifz-e-khudi ki baat hai aankhen jo nam nahin
aisa nahin ki mujh ko gham-e-ashiyan na ho

izhaar-e-haq pe kis liye khamosh ho gae
'raunaq' zaban rakhte hue be-zaban na ho
