Barishen KHun Ki Tez Hain Tez Hain KHun Ki Aandhiyan

barishen KHun ki tez hain tez hain KHun ki aandhiyan

chaak-dar-chaak uDne lagin KHun mein zist ki chhatriyan

raat petrol ki aag se shahr mein yun charaghan hua

kanp kar bujh gain dil ke raushan jharokon ki sab battiyan

be-aman KHalq curfew-zada roz-o-shab ke andhere mein gum

apni gardan mein Dale hue apne katbaat ki taKHtiyan

donon hi likh rahi thin lahu se mere saneha qatl ka

ek taraf hamla-war aastin ek taraf pasban wardiyan

gar yunhi aag daman se uThti rahi to jala Dalegi

husn-e-gul-rang ka pairahan ishq-e-gulnar ki dhajjiyan

jalti aankhon ke moti pighalte rahe aur ehsas ke

reg-zaron mein tapti rahin mere KHwabon ki parchhaiyan

marg-e-amboh ka jashn-e-matam hai raushan karen hum 'shahab'

phuljhaDi ashk-e-KHush-rang ki taza zaKHmon ki mahtabiyan
