raat si nind hai mahtab utara jae
ai khuda mujh mein zar-e-khwab utara jae

kya zaruri hai ki naw ko bachane ke liye
har musafir tah-e-girdab utara jae

roz utarta hai samundar mein sulagta suraj
kabhi sahra mein bhi talab utara jae

sau charaghon ke jalane se kahin achchha hai
ek sitara sar-e-mehrab utara jae

pattharon mein bhi kai pech pade hain 'shahid'
un pe bhi mausam-e-shadab utara jae
