salam ai dil-figar logo
salam ai ashk-bar logo

tumhi ne apna watan bachaya
tumhi ne baatil ka sar jhukaya

bujha ke sham-e-hayat apni
wafa ki rahon ko jagmagaya

magar ye dil ro ke kah raha hai
lahu tumhaara na rang laya

wahi hai shab ka hisar logo
salam ai ashk-bar logo

gulon ki wadi lahu lahu hai
fughan ki aawaz chaar-su hai

hain is qadar tishna-kaam mai-kash
har ek lab par subu subu hai

nishan-e-manzil hai khoya khoya
luta luta shahr-e-arzu hai

bujhe bujhe hain dayar logo
salam ai ashk-bar logo

tumhaare dam se hari zaminen
khushi se daman-bhari mashinen

hain us ke ba-wasf bhigi bhigi
tumhaari ashkon se aastinen

main sochta hun rahengi kab tak
sitam ke aage jhuki jabinen

uthao sar sogwar logo
salam ai ashk-bar logo
