husain aaj bhī qaa.em hai apnī sūrat par

yazīd chehre badaltā hai har zamāne meñ

husain aaj bhi qaem hai apni surat par

yazid chehre badalta hai har zamane mein

dost-dārī ke salīqe se bahut vāqif huuñ

ab mujhe haath milāne kā hunar aatā hai

dost-dari ke saliqe se bahut waqif hun

ab mujhe hath milane ka hunar aata hai

ik yaqīñ-parvar gumāñ aur ik hayāt-āmez ḳhvāb

jaise koī aa.egā aur uljhaneñ le jā.egā

ek yaqin-parwar guman aur ek hayat-amez KHwab

jaise koi aaega aur uljhanen le jaega

tujhe chhū kar mujhe kaisā lagegā

havā ke haath ban kar sochtā huuñ

tujhe chhu kar mujhe kaisa lagega

hawa ke hath ban kar sochta hun

jal rahā hai jo lab-e-bām abhī ek charāġh

bujh gayā ye bhī to phir raat mukammal hogī

jal raha hai jo lab-e-baam abhi ek charagh

bujh gaya ye bhi to phir raat mukammal hogi
