be-his o kaj-fahm o la-parwa kahe

wada jo tha nibah ka tumne wafa nahin kiya

aankhen hain surKH honT siyah rang zard hai

nam bhi achchha sa tha chehra bhi tha mahtab sa

nahr jis lashkar ki nigrani mein tab thi ab bhi hai

dushman-e-jaan hi sahi dost samajhta hun use

chehre ki chandni pe na itna bhi man kar

nam is ka aamariyyat ho ki ho jamhuriyat

mana ki tera mujhse koi wasta nahin

mujhe ki gai hai ye peshkash ki saza mein hongi riyayaten
