chaan dii sona ek taraf teraa hona ek taraf ek taraf teri aañkhen jaadu toona ek taraf

teri aankhoñ men jo ik qatra chhupa hai main hooñ jisne chhup chhup ke teraa dard saha hai main hooñ ek patthar ki jise aanch na aayi tu hai ek aaina ki jo toot chuka hai main hooñ

khu dii ko kar buland itnaa ki har taqdeer se pahle KHuda bande se KHud pooche bataa teri raza kya hai

bitha diya hai sipaahi ke dil men dar usne talaashi dii hai dupatta utaar kar usne main isliye bhi use khudkushi se rokta hooñ likha hua hai meraa naam jism par usne

uljh karke teri agar men yuñ aabaad ho jaaun ki jaise lucknow ka main ameenabad ho jaaun main yamuna ki tarah tanhaa nihaaru taaj ko kab tak koi ganga mile to main ilahaabad ho jaaun

zameer bech ke ye bhi ameer ho jaate agar ghareebon men khuddaariyaan nahin hoti

jisse darte the zamaane ke sitamgar saare aaj ke daur ka vo maalik-e-ashtar na raha

nusrat-e-haq dekhna aashoor tak le jaayegi hasrat-e-deedaar koh-e-toor tak le jaayegi

door ahbaab se rehta hooñ yuñ hi to akbarna pata kaunsa ik zakhm naya mil jaa.e

mujhe vo dekh ke roega akbar agar main muskurana chhod dooñga
