kuchh to dekhen asar charagh chale
bujh hi jae magar charagh jale

muskura kar ye kis ne dekh liya
rahguzar rahguzar charagh jale

utni hi aur tirgi phaili
shahr mein jis qadar charagh jale

kaun jaane ki kin amiron par
sham se ta-sahar charagh jale

qabil-e-did hai ye aalam bhi
is taraf dil udhar charagh jale

sari basti dhuen mein dub gai
shahr mein is qadar charagh jale

'shauq' aandhi hai aaj zoron par
aaj har gam par charagh jale
