E Daag Daag Ujaalaa, Ye Shab_Gaziidaa Sahar
Wo Intazaar Thaa Jis Kaa, Ye Wo Sahar To Nahiin

Ye Wo Sahar To Nahiin Jis Kii Aarazuu Lekar
Chale The Yaar Ki Mil Jaayegii Kahiin Na Kahiin
Falak Ke Dasht Men Taron Kii Aakharii Manzil
Kahiin To Hogaa Shab-E-Sust Mauj Kaa Saahil
Kahiin To Jaa Ke Rukegaa Safinaa-E-Gam-E-Dil
Jawaan Lahuu Kii Pur-Asaraar Shaaharaahon Se
Chale Jo Yaar To Daaman Pe Kitane Haath Pa.De
Dayaar-E-Husn Kii Be-Sabr Khwaab-Gaahon Se
Pukaratii Rahiin Baahen, Badan Bulaate Rahe
Bahut Aziiz Thii Lekin Rukh-E-Sahar Kii Lagan
Bahut Qariin Thaa Hasiinaan-E-Nuur Kaa Daaman
Subuk Subuk Thii Tamannaa, Dabii Dabii Thii Thakan

Sunaa Hai Ho Bhii Chukaa Hai Firaq-E-Zulmat-E-Nuur
Sunaa Hai Ho Bhii Chukaa Hai Wisaal-E-Manzil-O-Gaam
Badal Chukaa Hai Bahut Ahl-E-Dard Kaa Dastuur
Nishaat-E-Wasl Halaal-O-Azaab-E-Hijr-E-Haraam
Jigar Kii Aag, Nazar Kii Umang, Dil Kii Jalan
Kisii Pe Chaaraa-E-Hijraan Kaa Kuchh Asar Hii Nahiin
Kahaan Se Aaii Nigaar-E-Sabaa, Kidhar Ko Gaii
Abhii Chiraag-E-Sar-E-Rah Ko Kuchh Khabar Hii Nahiin
Abhii Garaani-E-Shab Men Kamii Nahiin Aaii
Najaat-E-Diida-O-Dil Kii Gha.Dii Nahiin Aaii
Chale Chalo Ki Wo Manzil Abhii Nahiin Aaii

Kyuun Meraa Dil Shaad Nahiin Hai Kyuun Khaamosh Rahaa Karataa Huun
Chho.Do Merii Raam Kahaanii Main Jaisaa Bhii Huun Achhaa Huun

Meraa Dil Gam_Giin Hai To Kyaa Gam_Giin Ye Duniyaa Hai Saarii
Ye Dukh Teraa Hai Na Meraa Ham Sab Kii Jaagiir Hai Pyaarii

Tuu Gar Merii Bhii Ho Jaaye Duniyaa Ke Gam Yuun Hii Rahenge
Paap Ke Phande, Zulm Ke Bandhan Apane Kahe Se Kat Na Sakenge

Gam Har Haalat Men Mohalik Hai Apanaa Ho Yaa Aur Kisii Kaa
Ronaa Dhonaa, Jii Ko Jalaanaa Yuun Bhii Hamaaraa, Yuun Bhii Hamaaraa

Kyuun Na Jahaan Kaa Gam Apanaa Len Baad Men Sab Tadabiiren Sochen
Baad Men Sukh Ke Sapane Dekhen Sapnon Kii Taabiiren Sochen

Be-Fikre Dhan Daulat Waale Ye Aakhir Kyuun Khush Rahate Hain
Inakaa Sukh Aapas Men Baanten Ye Bhii Aakhir Ham Jaise Hain

Ham Ne Maanaa Jung Ka.Dii Hai Sar Phuutenge,Khuun Bahegaa
Khuun Men Gam Bhii Bah Jaayenge Ham Na Rahen, Gam Bhii Na Rahegaa

Shaikh Saahab Se Rasm-O-Raah Na Kii
Shukr Hai Zindagii Tabaah Na Kii

Tujh Ko Dekhaa To Ser-E-Chashm Hue
Tujh Ko Chaahaa To Aur Chaah Na Kii

Tere Dast-E-Sitam Kaa Ajz Nahiin
Dil Hii Kaafir Thaa Jis Ne Aah Na Kii

The Shab-E-Hijr Kaam Aur Bahut
Ham Ne Fikr-E-Dil-E-Tabaah Na Kii

Kaun Qaatil Bachaa Hai Shahar Men ‘Faiz’
Jis Se Yaaron Ne Rasm-O-Raah Na Kii
