apne mazi ke ghane jangal se
kaun niklega! kahan niklega

be-karan raat sitare nabud
chand ubhra hai? kahan ubhra hai?

ek fasana hai tajalli ki numud
kitne gunjaan hain ashjar-e-buland

kitna mauhum hai aadam ka wajud
muzmahil chaal qadam bojhal se

apne mazi ke ghane jangal se
mujh ko sujhi hai nai rah-e-farar

aahan o sang o sharar barsaen
aao ashjar ki buniyaadon par

tesha o tegh-o-tabar barsaen
ek tasalsul se hum apni choten

be-khatar bar-e-digar barsaen
zehn par chhae hain kyun baadal se

apne mazi ke ghane jangal se
nau-e-insan ko nikalna hoga

in andheron ko nigalna hoga
