raat ke hath pe jalti hui ek sham-e-wafa
apna haq mangti hai

dur khwabon ke jazire mein
kisi rauzan se

subh ki ek kiran jhankti hai
wo kiran darpa-e-azar hui jati hai

meri gham-khwar hui jati hai
aao kirnon ko andheron ka kafan pahnaen

ek chamakta hua suraj sar-e-maqtal laen
tum mere pas raho

aur yahi baat kaho
aaj bhi harf-e-wafa bais-e-ruswai hai

apne qatil se meri khub shanasai hai
