koh-e-gham itna garan itna garan hai ab ke
hai kahan tisha-garan aah-e-garan hai ab ke

mai-kashon itna na pi jao ki gham dub jae
phir na phat jae ye aatish jo fashan hai ab ke

tang-daman ye duniya-e-sitam zor-e-alam
badhta jae hai rawan aur dawan hai ab ke

chashma-e-nab na badh kar junun sailab bane
bah na jae ki ye mitti ka makan hai ab ke

har taraf phailte badhte hue ye zist ke hath
bahr-e-zulmat mein ek kuza-e-jaan hai ab ke
