shab ki aaghosh mein mahtab utara usne

darwaza-e-hasti se na imlak se nikla

KHun aansu ban gaya aaankhon mein bhar jaane ke baad

sukut us ka hai sabr-e-jamil ki surat

agar dasht-e-talab se dasht-e-imkani mein aa jate

jo bach gae hain charagh un ko bachae rakkho

KHasta-jaani mein koi shaKH hari chahte hain

zindagi yun bhi guzari ja rahi hai

dil mein hasrat koi bachi hi nahin

chand sa chehra kuchh itna bebak hua

apne dukh-dard ka afsana bana laya hun

tirgi mein subh ki tanwir ban jaenge hum

ujala jab shab-e-zulmat par utarta hai

ghar mein chandi ke koi sone ke dar rakh jaega

KHak uDate hue ye marka sar karna hai
