kab ahd wafa hoga ai jaan-e-wafa jaanan
kab barsegi shanon pe zulfon ki ghata jaanan

ummid ke zindan se kab khwab riha honge
utrega khalaon se kab rizq-e-baqa jaanan

mitti meri dharti ke rangon ko tarasti hai
ubhrega hatheli pe kab rang-e-hina jaanan

ek ahd-e-sitam kal tha ek ahd-e-sitam ab hai
koi dast-e-shifa jaanan koi dast-e-dua jaanan

sab kuchh yunhi hona tha haalat hi aise the
kuchh nind ka mausam tha kuchh tum bhi khafa jaanan
