Hikayat-e-dauran

dubla patla nazuk 'dauran'

shisha jaisa nazuk 'dauran'

gham ki kali raat ka mara

apne hi jazbaat ka mara

aaThon pahar yun khoya khoya

jaise gahri soch mein Duba

kam hansna aadat mein daKHil

KHamoshi fitrat mein daKHil

shama ki surat bazm mein jalna

gah bhaDakna gah pighalna

mathe par har waqt shikan si

chehra par aazurda thakan si

chehre se mahrumi zahir

masumi mazlumi zahir

aankhen har dam umDi umDi

palken har dam bhigi bhigi

karb aankhon mein dard aankhon mein

rah-e-wafa ki gard aankhon mein

sahma sahma sham-e-bala se

ruTha ruTha apne KHuda se

aql-o-KHirad se ji ko churae

pagal-pan se baz na aae

jaane dil mein kis ki lagan hai

ruh mein kis kanTe ki chubhan hai

ye hai apna 'dauran' yaro

uljha suljha 'dauran' yaro

lekin yaro yahi musafir

rah-e-wafa ka dukhi musafir

shanon par ek bojh ko lade

rah-e-talab mein aage aage

dil mein ek mazbut irada

nazron mein ek raushan jada

gham ki lambi raat pe bhaari

zulm ka aur zulmat ka shikari

insani tahzib ka qail

duniya ki tamir pe mail

sai-e-paiham us ki tamanna

jagmag jagmag us ka rasta

us ki sari fikr-e-pareshan

insani tanzim ki KHwahan

nazmen us ki jaan-e-maqasid

ruh-e-tamaddun shan-e-maqasid

subh pe shaida sham pe aashiq

apne watan ke nam pe aashiq

baaten raib-o-riya se KHali

har naqsh-e-kirdar misali

pyar insan ka dil mein chhupae

dard-e-jahan sine mein basae

'dauran' hai ya ruh-e-'dauran'

giryan giryan KHandan KHandan

is ki duniya apni duniya

is duniya mein sari duniya
