wahi hain qatl-o-ghaarat aur wahi kohram hai saqi

raat jab TuT kar bikhar jae

sahra-e-la-hudud mein tishna-labi ki KHair

wo jo phul the teri yaad ke tah-e-dast-e-Khaar chale gae

jang-e-hayat-o-maut mein kya kya nahin hua

aise sulag uTha teri yaadon se dil mera

jamhuriyat ki lash pe taqat hai KHanda-zan

shayad zaban pe qarz tha humne chuka diya

peD ko apna hi saya nahin milta logo

yun abas kisi ko sada na do dil-e-zar ko ye bata bhi do
