jal ke aatish mein miyan khud ko jalate hain charagh
ghup andhere mein bhi farz apna nibhate hain charagh

kaun kahta hai ki suraj ke barabar hai charagh
log jahil hain ki suraj ko dikhate hain charagh

ye nahin dekhte suraj bhi yahan hain baithe
log pagal hain ki mahfil mein sajate hain charagh

bhai halka nahin lena hai kisi ek ko bhi
rakh kar dete hain jab taish mein aate hain charagh

jin ko 'hamza' mere hathon ne diya ek wajud
hai ajab ab ye mujhe aankh dikhate hain charagh
