Chand Taron Ka Ban

mom ki tarah jalte rahe hum shahidon ke tan

raat-bhar jhilmilati rahi sham-e-subh-e-watan

raat-bhar jagmagata raha chand taron ka ban

tishnagi thi magar

tishnagi mein bhi sarshaar the

pyasi aankhon ke KHali kaTore liye

muntazir mard o zan

mastiyan KHatm, mad-hoshiyan KHatm thin, KHatm tha bankpan

raat ke jagmagate dahakte badan

subh-dam ek diwar-e-gham ban gae

KHar-zar-e-alam ban gae

raat ki shah-ragon ka uchhalta lahu

ju-e-KHun ban gaya

kuchh imaman-e-sad-makr-o-fan

un ki sanson mein afi ki phunkar thi

un ke sine mein nafrat ka kala dhuan

ek kamin-gah se

phenk kar apni nok-e-zaban

KHun-e-nur-e-sahar pi gae

raat ki talchhaten hain andhera bhi hai

subh ka kuchh ujala bhi hai

hamdamo!

hath mein hath do

su-e-manzil chalo

manzilen pyar ki

manzilen dar ki

ku-e-dildar ki manzilen

dosh par apni apni saliben uThae chalo
