Nishan-e-zaKHm Pe Nishtar-zani Jo Hone Lagi

nishan-e-zaKHm pe nishtar-zani jo hone lagi

lahu mein zulmat-e-shab ungliyan bhigone lagi

hua wo jashn ki neze buland hone lage

niyam tegh ki KHanjar ke sath sone lagi

jahan mein dauD ke pahuncha tha wo ghaneri chhanw

zara si der mein zar-o-qatar rone lagi

nadi Dubau na thi Dubna paDa lekin

kinare pahuncha to sharmindagi Dubone lagi

sab apni pyas bujhane mein mahw the hama-tan

hua ye phir ki hawa shoala-KHez hone lagi

baDhae hath madad ko daraaz daston ne

to apna bojh wo chyunTi ki tarah Dhone lagi

kuchh aur surKH-ru ho kar uThe wo maqtal se

ghaTa bhi uTThi to daman ke dagh dhone lagi

wo pir-zan jise kanTe nikalne the 'KHalish'

wo sahira ki tarah suiyan chubhone lagi
