mauj-e-khayal-e-yar gham-e-asar aai hai
kyun chahaton ke bich ye diwar aai hai

ek bund hath aai hai patthar nichod kar
aankhon se lab pe quwwat-e-izhaar aai hai

hum dushmanon mein apni zaban haar aae hain
jab hath kat chuke hain to talwar aai hai

kyun aasman ne dast-e-tahi phir kiya daraaz
kyun dhup zer-e-saya-e-diwar aai hai

suraj jhulas gaya hai har ek shakh-e-jism-o-jaan
din dhal gaya to ghar mein shab-e-tar aai hai

be-saut tha 'mujibi' har ek naghma-e-khayal
tuta jo dil to saz ki jhankar aai hai
