ji hai bahut udas tabiat hazin bahut
saqi ko pyala-e-mai-e-atishin bahut

do gaz zamin fareb-e-watan ke liye mili
waise to aasman bhi bahut hain zamin bahut

aisi bhi is hawa mein hai ek kafiri ki rau
bujh bujh gae hain shola-e-iman-o-din bahut

be-bakiyon mein fard bahut thi wo chashm-e-naz
dil ki harif ho ke uthi sharm-gin bahut

paikar-e-khair-o-shar se guzar aai zindagi
teri wafa ka daur tha ahd-afrin bahut

fariyaad thi chakida-e-khun-e-gulu tamam
naghma bhi ham-safir tha kar-e-hazin bahut

ai dil tujhi pe khatm nahin dastan-e-ishq
afsana-khwan mile mizha o aastin bahut

aisi hawa mein ghar se nikalne ki ja na thi
warna tamam baat ka aata yaqin bahut

ai inqalab-e-rang tabiat sambhaalna
hum bhi uthe hain bazm se ab ke hazin bahut
