shabon ki zulf ki ru-e-sahar ki khair manao
nigar-e-shams urus-e-qamar ki khair manao

sipah-e-dushman-e-insaniyat qarib aai
dayar-e-husn sar-e-rahguzar ki khair manao

abhi to auron ke diwar-o-dar pe yurish thi
ab apne saya-e-diwar-o-dar ki khair manao

chali hai aatish-o-ahan ke dil se baad-e-sumum
chaman ke jalwa-e-gul-ha-e-tar ki khair manao

guzar na jae kahin bahr-o-bar se khun ki dhaar
farogh-e-shabnam-o-ab-o-guhar ki khair manao

ye nafa-khoron ki danish-farosh duniya hai
mata-e-ilm ki jins-e-hunar ki khair manao

mere liye hai meri muflisi-o-napaki
tum apni paki-e-qalb-o-nazar ki khair manao
