Sahar Hone Tak

ek bijli ke khambe tale

kitne zinda bache

aur kitne jale

kis ko malum ho

kaise malum ho

koi in ka sharik-e-shab-e-gham na tha

sham se ta-sahar

apne anjam se be-KHabar

aatish-e-soz-e-pinhan mein jalte rahe

raqs karte rahe

subh hone se pahle

siyah raat ke qafile

sard lashon ke ambar ko aa ke bikhra gae

shikasta paron ko hawaon ke jhonke na jaane kidhar ko uDa le gae

kis ko malum ho

kaise malum ho

aatish-e-soz-e-pinhan mein kitne jale

kitne zinda bache
