shab samne khadi hai ujalon ka qad badha
dushman badhen to chahne walon ka qad badha

pine ke sath sath badhegi ye pyas aur
sahba ko tez kar ke piyalon ka qad badha

apni hudud-e-nur ko paiham wasia kar
tu chand ban chuka hai to haalon ka qad badha

dekha unhen to apni nigahen sanwar gain
un se jo baat ki to khayalon ka qad badha

tujh ko agar lahu ki hifazat aziz hai
apni ghiza mein pak niwalon ka qad badha

tiflana shokhiyon ka tujhe kya jawab dun
baaligh ho aur apne sawalon ka qad badha

teri baqa hai tere hunar hi mein ab 'qamar'
jada-ba-jada apne kamalon ka qad badha
