Aakhri Baat

Tuluu-e-shams-e-mufaarqat hai
Puraani kirnain naye makaanon ke aanganon main laraz rahi hain
Faseel-e-shehr-e-vafa ke rauzan chamaktay zarron se bhar gayee hain
Gaye dinon ki azeez baatain, nigaar subhain, gulaab raatain
Bisaat-e-dil bhi ajeeb shaye hai, hazaar jeetain, hazaar maatain
Judaaiyyon ki havaayen, lamhon ki khushk matti ura raheen hain
Gayee ruton ka malaal kab tak
Chalo ke shaakhain to toot.ti hain
Chalo ke qabron pe khoon ronay se
Apni aankhain he phoot.ti hain
Yeh mor vo hai jahaa.n se meray tumhaaray rastay badal gaye hain
Puraani raahon ko lautna bhi hamari taqdeer main nahin
Keh raastay bhi hamaaray qadmon ke saath aagay nikal gaye hain

Tuluu-e-shams-e-mufaarqat hai
Tum apni aankhon main jhilmilaatay huay sitaaron ko maut de do
Gayee ruton ke tamaam phoolon tamaam khaaron ko maut de do
Naye safar ko hayaat bakhsho
Keh pichli raahon pe sabt jitnay nuqoosh-e-paa hai
Vo baar hon ge
Hava uraaye keh tum uraao
