teri yaaden hain jinhen dil mein basa rakkha hai
hum ne is aag ko sine mein daba rakkha hai

shahr ho dasht-e-tamanna ho ki dariya ka safar
teri taswir ko sine se laga rakkha hai

ye to mumkin hi nahin husn ka faizan na ho
ishq ne husn ko arman bana rakkha hai

kaisa suraj hai ki deta nahin zulmat ko shikast
kyun andheron ne ujalon ko daba rakkha hai

tishnagi apni mita le ki hansnegi duniya
pi to le saghar-e-taslim-o-raza rakkha hai

haq ke lashkar mein sipahi hain bahut thode se
hum ne hi hausla baatil ka badha rakkha hai

kab nikalna hai use ye bhi bata sakti hai
zulmat-e-shab ne bhi suraj ka pata rakkha hai

khugar-e-zabt hain ruswa na karenge tujh ko
hum ne duniya se tere gham ko chhupa rakkha hai

dil jo tute hain unhen jod ke dikhlao 'shahid'
warna in kashf-o-karamat mein kya rakkha hai
