Poet Name: Akhlaque Bandvi

idhar charagh jal gae udhar charagh jal gae jidhar jidhar uThi tiri nazar charagh jal gae ye aur baat raat

faujiyon ke sar to dushman ke sipahi le gae haath jo qimat lagi zill-e-ilahi le gae jurm mera sirf itna

mujh se mat puchh mira hal-e-darun rahne de sun ke Tapkega tiri ankhon se ḳhuun rahne de fasl-e-gul dasht-e-ḳhirad men

falak se chand chaman se gulab le aae kahan se koi tumhara javab le aae hazar rang hain husn-o-jamal ke

vahi hai gardish-e-dauran vahi lail-o-nahar ab bhi raha karta hai roz-o-shab kisi ka intizar ab bhi kabhi din bhar tiri

justuju ne tiri har chand thaka rakkha hai phir bhi kya gham ki isi men to maza rakkha hai kuchh

charḳh bhi chhu len to jaana hai isi miTTi men mustaqil apna Thikana hai isi miTTi men jin ke daman

main pareshan huun milen chand nivale kaise us ko daulat vo mili hai ki sambhale kaise ungliyan apni naginon se

kabhi jo ankhon men pal-bhar ko ḳhvab jagte hain to phir mahinon musalsal azaab jagte hain kisi ke lams ki

ashk ankhon men bhare baiThe ho kitne buzdil ho dare baiThe ho tum ko mar kar bhi kahan marna tha
