kisi ka dhyan mah-e-nim-mah mein aaya
safar ki raat thi aur khwab rah mein aaya

tulu-e-saat-e-shab-khun hai aur mera dil
kisi sitara-e-bad ki nigah mein aaya

mah o sitara se dil ki taraf chala wo jawan
adu ki qaid se apni sipah mein aaya

jihad-e-gham mein koi sust zarb meri tarah
giraft-e-maisara-e-ashk-o-ah mein aaya

sitare dub gae aur wo sitara-gar
thakan se chur zamin ki panah mein aaya

charagh hai meri raaton ka ek khwab-e-visal
jo koi pal teri chashm-e-siyah mein aaya

dukhi dilon ki salami qubul karte hue
nazar jhukae koi khanqah mein aaya
