wo ghadi dil pe thi qayamat ki
jab teri chahaton ne hijrat ki

kya koi husn ka sahifa tha
aankh ne der tak tilawat ki

aur shiddat se yaad aaya wo
jab use bhulne ki jurat ki

dil jalao agar charagh bujhen
raushni kam na ho mohabbat ki

mangti hai lahu ke nazrane
hum se har int is imarat ki

us ne ki mujh ko sabr ki talqin
di dua main ne istaqamat ki

qatl-khanon mein ji rahe hain hum
dad dije hamari himmat ki

dekh tiron se phul chhalni hain
koi had hoti hai adawat ki

qasr-e-firaunn mein pal rahe hain kalim
kya ajab shan hai mashiyyat ki

bujh chali shama-e-bazm-e-naw-nosh
sar pe tayyariyan hain rehlat ki

dard jab had se badh gaya 'bazmi'
dard se dard ki shikayat ki
