os ki tamanna mein jaise bagh jalta hai
tu na ho to sine ka dagh dagh jalta hai

chand chal diya chup-chap so gae sitare bhi
raat ki syahi mein dil ka dagh jalta hai

maut ek kahani hai zist jawedani hai
ek charagh bujhta hai ek charagh jalta hai

qatl-gah se le kar qatilon ke daman tak
khun-e-nahaq-e-farhad ka suragh jalta hai

sathiyon se duri mein ek jahan se duri hai
mai mein dam nahin saqi aur ayagh jalta hai
