isi ummid pe shab bhar jage
hum bhi so len jo muqaddar jage

muntazir hai nigah-e-ahl-e-wafa
nok-e-neza pe koi sar jage

bujh gai shama sitare gum hain
jaane kab shab ka muqaddar jage

kaun khwabon mein basa hai aakhir
chandni ghar mein utar kar jage

harf-e-haq aate hi lab par 'mohsin'
waqt ke hath mein khanjar jage
