Ummid

zist yunhi na rahegi maghmum

zindagani ko badalna hoga

lakh aamada-e-shazish hai ye shab

is shab-e-tira ko Dhalna hoga

maut ka saya larazta hai to kya

waqt aalam ko laya hai to kya

nama-e-alam jo aaya hai to kya

gham ko sah jaen dilawar ban kar

pi len dariya ko samundar ban kar

gham to aate hi rahenge paiham

aate-jate hi rahenge har-dam

zaKHm KHud paida karenge marham

gham-o-andoh ki kuchh baat nahin

ye koi lamha-e-haihat nahin

azm-e-parwaz na dene pae

apni aawaz na dene pae

raat tarik bhi sunsan bhi hai

azm ke git to gaen aao

shab-e-dijur ko raushan to karen

sham-e-ummid jalaen aao
