jis taraf dekho nazar aate hain tane wale
hain kahan naghma-e-dil-gir sunane wale

kis se ruthenge bhala kaun manaega hamein
zinat-e-shahr-e-khamoshan hain manane wale

ab to tabir bhi bar-aks nazar aati hai
gum hue jaane kahan khwab suhane wale

ye zamane ka taqaza hai karun aah-o-buka
warna ye lab the hamesha se tarane wale

kaise izhaar karun ishq-e-khafi ka tum se
mujh ko majnun ka laqab denge zamane wale

ye karishma bhi tumhaari hi mohabbat se hua
mit gae hum ko zamane se mitane wale

dhadkanen apne ahata se nikal aai hain
aisa lagta hai ki nazdik hain aane wale

khanjar-e-zulm ne yun hi to gala chuma hai
hum hain neze pe bhi quran sunane wale

hum to talwar ko khud apni zaban dete hain
hum hain har haal mein wade ko nibhane wale

is se aage to faqat sath 'falak hai mere
qabr tak jaenge kandhon pe uthane wale
