tujh ko kitnon ka lahu chahiye ai arz-e-vatan
jo tire ariz-e-be-rang ko gulnar karen
kitni aahon se kaleja tira thanda hoga
kitne aansu tire sahraon ko gulzar karen
tere aivanon men purze hue paiman kitne
kitne vaade jo na asuda-e-iqrar hue
kitni ankhon ko nazar kha gai bad-khvahon ki
khvab kitne tiri shah-rahon men sangsar hue
”bala-kashan-e-mohabbat pe jo hua so hua
jo mujh pe guzri mat us se kaho, hua so hua
mabada ho koi zalim tira gareban-gir
lahu ke daagh tu daman se dho, hua so hua”
ham to majbur-e-vafa hain magar ai jan-e-jahan
apne ushshaq se aise bhi koi karta hai
teri mahfil ko khuda rakkhe abad tak qaaem
ham to mehman hain ghadi bhar ke hamara kya hai
