ek kiran mehr ki zulmat pe bhaari hogi
raat un ki hai magar subh hamari hogi

ham-safiran-e-chaman mil ke pukaren to zara
yahin khwabida kahin baad-e-bahaari hogi

is taraf bhi koi khushbu se mahakta jhonka
ai saba tu ne to wo zulf sanwari hogi

ye jo milti hai tere gham se gham-e-dahr ki shakl
dil ne taswir se taswir utari hogi

bu-e-gul aati hai mitti se chaman ki jab tak
hum pe dahshat na khizan ki kabhi tari hogi
