jalane wale jalate hi hain charagh aaKHir

ye kya kaha ki hawa tez hai zamane ki

kise ḳhabar thī ki le kar charāġh-e-mustafavī

jahāñ meñ aag lagātī phiregī bū-lahabī

kise KHabar thi ki le kar charagh-e-mustafawi

jahan mein aag lagati phiregi bu-lahabi

agar na ho ye fareb-e-paiham to dam nikal jae aadmi ka

butoñ ko toḌ ke aisā ḳhudā banānā kyā

butoñ kī tarah jo ham-shakl aadmī kā ho

buton ko toD ke aisa KHuda banana kya

buton ki tarah jo ham-shakl aadmi ka ho

ham mohabbat kā sabaq bhuul ga.e

terī āñkhoñ ne paḌhāyā kyā hai

hum mohabbat ka sabaq bhul gae

teri aankhon ne paDhaya kya hai

ye bhī koī shān-e-ishq huī jis dar pe ga.e sar phoḌ liyā

ai sajda-farosh-e-ku-e-butan har sar ke liye ek chaukhaT hai

ye bhi koi shan-e-ishq hui jis dar pe gae sar phoD liya

inhī hairat-zada āñkhoñ se dekhe haiñ vo aañsū bhī

jo aksar dhuup meñ mehnat kī peshānī se Dhalte haiñ

inhi hairat-zada aankhon se dekhe hain wo aansu bhi

hone do charaghan mahlon mein kya hum ko agar diwali hai

mazdur hain hum mazdur hain hum mazdur ki duniya kali hai

dariyā meñ na thā to qatra thā dariyā meñ milā to kuchh bhī nahīñ

hasti hai judai se us ki jab wasl hua to kuchh bhi nahin

dariya mein na tha to qatra tha dariya mein mila to kuchh bhi nahin
