dil se arman nikal rahe hain
mere bhi din badal rahe hain

warna ghar mein hai ghup andhera
yaadon ke charagh jal rahe hain

ye ajab log hain ki un ke
panw nahin pe chal rahe hain

hum dar-e-shah par sawali
aaj hain aur na kal rahe hain

wo hi pahunchenge yar tak jo
girte girte sambhal rahe hain

hum niko nam to hue par
dil pe aare se chal rahe hain

un ko aazad kar jo ab tak
zer-e-habs-e-ilal rahe hain

un ko mahbus kar jo kab se
qaede sab kuchal rahe hain

kah na karb-o-bala ka qissa
lafzon ke dil dahal rahe hain
