lab tishn-o-nomeed hain ham ab ke baras bhee
ai thahare hue abre-karam ab ke baras bhee
kuchh bhee ho gulistaan mein magar kunje- chaman mein
hain door bahaaron ke qadam ab ke baras bhee
ai shekh-karam! dekh ki ba-vasfe-charaagaan
teera hai daro-baame-haram ab ke baras bhee
ai dile-zadagaan mana khair, hain naazaan
pindaare-khudaee pe sanam ab ke baras bhee
pahale bhee qayaamat thee sitamakaaree-e-ayyaam
hain kusht-e-gam kusht-e-gam ab ke baras bhee
laharaenge honthon pe dikhaave ke tabassum
hoga ye nazaara koee dam ab ke baras bhee
ho jaega har zakhme-kuhan phir se numaayaan
roega lahoo deed-e-nam abake baras bhee
pahale kee tarah honge tahee jaame-sifaalee
chhalakega har ik saagare-jam ab ke baras bhee
maqtal mein nazar aaenge pa-bast-e-zanjeer
ahale-zare-ahale-qalam ab ke baras bhee
