Hum nay her haal mei.n us ko he muqaddam rakha,
Khushi mei.n bhoolay na gham mei.n koi maatam rakha,

Kaun kehta hai keh zulmat they shab-e-furqat mei.n,
Hum nay shamma ke tarha aankh ko bhi nam rakha,

Hijr kay zakham to ek aan mei.n bhar jaee.n gay,
Tu nay jo wasl mei.n guftaar ka marham rakha,

Sar yeh kat.ta hai to kat jaye rah-e-ulfat mei.n,
Hum nay ooncha he beharhaal yeh parcham rakha,

Ahal-e-fan likhtay rahay khoon say zamanay kay sitam,
Shehar-e-baydard nay dil waalo.n ko mujrim rakha.
