ye ahd-e-nau ka chalan hai ya ye shauq tumhaara azali hai
tum calender tarikhon ko

kisi aur hi nam se jaante ho
yan jazbe rishte fikr aur fard ayyam se hain mansub sabhi

kabhi darman karna chaha kuchh amraaz ka de kar din ka khiraj
jangen bhi tumhaari hi ijad

aur yaum-e-aman ka dhong bhi tum
tum wo jo surat-e-qahr gire

is ru-e-zamin ke shahron par
phir un shahron ke nam se din mansub bhi karne wale tum

han bhul gae us hasti ko
makhsus koi bhi yaum nahin hai us ke jashn-e-charaghan ko

ho jis ki siyah-zulfon ke asir awwal din se
kya kya nahin hile tum ne kiye

meri hi talab ki ungli thame atom bam ijad kiya
kabhi zer-e-zamin rah-e-atish hamwar kiya

kabhi dekha chashm-e-falak ne manzar jab
tum tham ke bahen meri the masrur bahut

ek ahd-e-hajar se masnui fatanat tak
jab bhi koi khun-asham sada takrai mere kanon se

main pair mein ghunghru bandh uthi
inkar kiya tum ne jab mere jashn-e-charaghan ka

main ne ek sal mukammal apne nam kiya
lekin tum ne

harf-e-ghalat ka nam diya
chaha ki kar do mahw mujhe is ru-e-zamin ke safhe se

sal-e-nau ki is ujli tabinda faza mein
faisla apne hath mein lo

ya meri parastish band karo
ya mere nam ek jam karo

cheers kaho
ye sal bhi mere nam karo
