waba-e-am se marne ka khauf apni jagah
kiwad khol ke dekho bahaar aai hai

gulon se bharne lage asia ke lala-zar
wo dekho ho gae europe ke aasman shaffaf

bahut chamakne laga hai hamara sayyara
parinde gane lage hain hawaen ho gain saf

gharon ke sehnon mein kilkariyan hain bachchon ki
mohabbaton ke diye hain har ek shabistan mein

wo dekho chum raha hai falak ko mah-e-tamam
abhi bhi khwab hain daman-e-nau-e-insan mein

lahu mein khauf sahi dil mein waswase hi sahi
waba se jang ke ye roz-o-shab bure hi sahi

magar umid ki lau phir se timtimai hai
kiwad khol ke dekho bahaar aai hai
