ba-qadr-e-did na the teri anjuman ke charagh
miri nigah farozan hui hai ban ke charagh
hazar bad-e-havadis hazar sarsar-e-gham
jala raha huun magar azmat-e-chaman ke charagh
nuqush-e-shahr-e-nigaran ubharte hi rahe
mire junun ke ujale tiri lagan ke charagh
savad-e-asr men farda ki tabnaki hai
bujha diye gae andesha-e-kuhan ke charagh
hujum-e-gham men hua tha ye kaun naghma-sara
jali hai tirgi-e-sham dard ban ke charagh
na bad-e-dasht-o-bayaban na sham-e-ranj-o-bala
lahu se apne jalate hain ham-vatan ke charagh
jilau men tabish-e-qindil-e-agahi le kar
bujha diye hain mohabbat ne ahrman ke charagh
zamana sham-e-bala se saval karta hai
kidhar gae vo tire daur-e-pur-fitan ke charagh
sharar-e-nutq hua sarf-e-har-khayal ‘uruj’
jale to bujh na sake shokhi-e-sukhan ke charagh
