jurm-e-ummeed kee saza hee de
mere haq mein bhee kuchh suna hee de
yoon to har shakhs akela hai bharee duniya mein
phir bhee har dal ke muqaddar mein nahin tanhaee
aanch aatee hai tire jism kee uryaanee se
pairahan hai ki sulagatee huee shab hai koee
vo raat ka be-nava musaafir vo tera shair vo tera nasir
tiree galee tak to ham ne dekha tha phir na jaane kidhar gaya vo
akele ghar se poochhatee hai be-kasee
tira diya jalaane vaale kya hue
na ab vo yaadon ka chadhata dariya na fursaton kee udaas barakha
yoonhee zara see kasak hai dil mein jo zakhm gahara tha bhar gaya vo
tire firaaq kee raaten kabhee na bhoolengee
maze mile unheen raaton mein umr bhar ke mujhe
kabhee zulfon kee ghata ne ghera
kabhee aankhon kee chamak yaad aaee
mujhe to khair vatan chhod kar amaan na milee
vatan bhee mujh se gareeb-ul-vatan ko tarasega
muddat se koee aaya na gaya sunasaan padee hai ghar kee faza
in khaalee kamaron mein naasir ab sham jalaoon kis ke lie
