raqs-e-nairangi hai nazzaron ke bich
ji raha hun shoabada-karon ke bich

ek duniya ko hai lut jaane ka dar
ek hum hain lut gae yaron ke bich

shikwa-e-jaur-o-jafa kis se karun
pyar se mahrum hun pyaron ke bich

mulk-o-millat qaum-o-mazhab dosto
kya nahin bikta kharidaron ke bich

azmat-e-hawwa ka ek aur aaina
ho gaya nilam bazaron ke bich

asl rishta to zamin se hai mera
yaad aaya mujh ko sayyaron ke bich

shauq-e-khud-arai ke hathon hua
ek hayula qaid diwaron ke bich

ya-ilahi rahm karna aaj wo
aa gae chal ke talab-garon ke bich

mere dam se hi hui hai raushni
dasht-o-sahra aur kohsaron ke bich

ai bahaar-e-abr-e-nau jaldi baras
jal rahe hain khwab angaron ke bich

mujh mein hai maujud parwaz-e-'khayal'
mo'atabar hun main bhi fankaron ke bich
