kitnī sarkash bhī ho sar-phirī ye havā rakhnā raushan diyā
raat jab tak rahe ai mire ham-navā rakhnā raushan diyā
raushnī kā vazīfa nahīñ vo chale rāsta dekh kar
vo to āzād hai misl-e-mauj-e-sabā rakhnā raushan diyā
raat kaisī bhī ho ḳhauf ke chor kī ghaat kaisī bhī ho
apnī ummīd kā apne vishvās kā rakhnā raushan diyā
shab kī be-ant zulmat se laḌ saktī hai ek nannhī sī lau
raah bhūle huoñ ko hai bāñg-e-darā rakhnā raushan diyā
āshnā kī sadā ghup-añdhere meñ ban jaatī hai raushnī
is shab-e-tār meñ apnī āvāz kā rakhnā raushan diyā
raushnī kī sharī.at meñ roz-e-azal se yahī darj hai
jot se jot jaltī rahegī sadā rakhnā raushan diyā
mujh se 'amjad' kahā jhilmilāte hue aḳhtar-e-shām ne
us ko aanā hī hai vo zarūr aa.egā rakhnā raushan diyā
kitni sarkash bhi ho sar-phiri ye hawa rakhna raushan diya
raat jab tak rahe ai mere ham-nawa rakhna raushan diya
raushni ka wazifa nahin wo chale rasta dekh kar
wo to aazad hai misl-e-mauj-e-saba rakhna raushan diya
raat kaisi bhi ho KHauf ke chor ki ghat kaisi bhi ho
apni ummid ka apne wishwas ka rakhna raushan diya
shab ki be-ant zulmat se laD sakti hai ek nannhi si lau
rah bhule huon ko hai bang-e-dara rakhna raushan diya
aashna ki sada ghup-andhere mein ban jati hai raushni
is shab-e-tar mein apni aawaz ka rakhna raushan diya
raushni ki shariat mein roz-e-azal se yahi darj hai
jot se jot jalti rahegi sada rakhna raushan diya
mujh se 'amjad' kaha jhilmilate hue aKHtar-e-sham ne
us ko aana hi hai wo zarur aaega rakhna raushan diya
