Raushni Ban Ke Sitaron Mein Rawan Rahte Hain

raushni ban ke sitaron mein rawan rahte hain

jism-e-aflak mein hum surat-e-jaan rahte hain

hain dil-e-dahr mein hum surat-e-ummid-e-nihan

misl-e-iman ruKH-e-hasti pe ayan rahte hain

jo na DhunDo to hamara koi maskan hi nahin

aur dekho to qarib rag-e-jaan rahte hain

har-nafas karte hain ik-tarfa tamasha paida

hum sar-e-dar bhi tazin jahan rahte hain

aur bhi ahl-e-nazar hain kabhi dekho to sahi

hum bhi is shahar mein ai kam-nazran rahte hain

dil ki dhaDkan se mila un ka pata kuchh hum ko

kis ko malum tha warna wo kahan rahte hain

wusat-e-dasht nahin ras chaman-zadon ko

hum tere shahar ki jaanib nigaran rahte hain

ashk girte hain to kuchh dil ko sakun milta hai

hae wo log jo mahrum-e-fughan rahte hain

zindagi-bhar ka hai ahbab se is dasht mein sath

misl-e-jaan rahte hain hum 'arsh' jahan rahte hain
