jism mein thodi jaan baqi hai
aakhiri imtihan baqi hai

khandani nishan baqi hai
samne pan-dan baqi hai

sab makin ho gae hain khuld-nashin
ab to khali makan baqi hai

kaisi kaisi azim thin qaumen
jin ki ab dastan baqi hai

tha wahan shah ka mahal shayad
us gali par kaman baqi hai

hum ne un ko yaqin dilaya tha
phir bhi un ka guman baqi hai

us ne phenke zaban ke khanjar
aaj tak bhi nishan baqi hai

zalzala ek aa gaya tha wahan
sar pe ab aasman baqi hai

mit gae the jo din-e-haq ke liye
aaj tak un ki shan baqi hai

din-e-haq ka payam zinda hai
is zamin par quran baqi hai

tukde tukde hue gareban ke
phir bhi kyon khinch-tan baqi hai
