Sitara-war Jale Phir Bujha Diye Gae Hum
sitara-war jale phir bujha diye gae hum
phir is ke baad nazar se gira diye gae hum
aziz the hamin nau-waridan-e-kucha-e-ishq
so pichhe haTte gae rasta diye gae hum
shikast o fath ke sab faisle hue kahin aur
misal-e-mal-e-ghanimat luTa diye gae hum
zamin farsh-e-gul-o-lala se sajai gai
phir is zamin ki amanat bana diye gae hum
duaen yaad kara di gai thin bachpan mein
so zaKHm khate rahe aur dua diye gae hum
