shab-e-zindagani sahar ho gai
bahr-kaif achchhi basar ho gai

na samjhe ki shab kyun sahar ho gai
idhar ki zamin sab udhar ho gai

zamane ki bigdi kuchh aisi hawa
ki be-ghairati bhi hunar ho gai

amaid ne ki waza jo ikhtiyar
wahi sab ko madd-e-nazar ho gai

gae jo nikal dam-e-tazwir se
hazimat hi in ki zafar ho gai

zamin munqalib aasman charkh-zan
iqamat bhi hum ko safar ho gai

mita daliye lauh-e-dil se ghubar
kisi se khata bhi agar ho gai

ba-rah-e-karam us ko tai kijiye
jo an-ban kisi baat par ho gai

na karna tha bizzid madawa-e-gham
badi chuk ai chaara-gar ho gai

ye hangama-ara hain sab be-khabar
wo chup hain jinhen kuchh khabar ho gai
