wo ki
jis ke dam se

har ek zarre ke rag-e-jaan mein
hararat bhara lahu rawan tha

wo
jo ta-dam-e-hayat

sarsar ko saba
kahne se gurezan tha

jis ke pur-soz tarannum se
hasin wadiyon mein lafzon ki khushbu bikhar rahi thi

wo ki
jis ke lafzon ki hararat se

zindan ki salakhen pighal rahi thin
shafaq ki rangat badal rahi thi

wo
ek jiyala mujahid-e-haq

ye soch hum ko de gaya hai
tamam mahlon ki raunaqon se

jhonpadi ki siyah raaten
hazar guna sukun tar hain

hazar guna sukun tar hain
