ek qayamat hai jawani ek qayamat hai shabab
har tabassum ek tufan har nazar ek inqalab

har taraf ek aah-o-zari har taraf ek iztirab
kitni saughaten liye aaya hai daur-e-inqilab

saghar-o-mina patak de tod de chang-o-rubab
dekh sar par aa chuka hai aaftab-e-inqalab

ishq ke dastur duniya se alag dastur hain
is ki gumnami mein shohrat is ki khamoshi jawab

ai meri nazron ki jannat kya tujhe malum hai
kis ke sadqe ho rahe hain aaftab-o-mahtab

main to kahta hun khuda ka shukr karna chahiye
jaan de kar bhi jo ho jae mohabbat kaamyab

ai dil-e-gham-ashna ab to wo hum se chhut gae
aur kya is se ziyaada hoga koi inqalab

un se baaten kar raha hun wo khade hain samne
jagta rahta hun lekin dekhta rahta hun khwab

bandishen donon taraf pabandiyan donon taraf
ek paband-e-mohabbat ek paband-e-hijab

mujh ko ai 'shaarib' fishaar-e-qabr ka kya khauf ho
main ghulam-e-shah-e-yasrib main ghulam-e-bu-turab
