umiden mit gaiin ab ham-nafas kya
nasheman ki ḳhushi ranj-e-qafas kya
basar kanton men ho jab zindagani
bahar-e-ḳhanda-e-gul yak-nafas kya
miri divangi kyuun badh rahi hai
bahar aai chaman men ham-nafas kya
na ho jab rang-e-azadi chaman men
to phir andesha-e-qaid-e-qafas kya
bahar-e-nau ki phir hai aamad aamad
chaman ujda koi phir ham-nafas kya
