Youn Arz-o-Talab Se

Youn arz-o-talab se kab aye dil, patthar dil paani hotay hain
Tum laakh raza ki khu daalo, kab khu-e-sitamgar jaati hai

Bedaad garon ki basti hai yaa.n daad kahaan khairaat kahaan
Sar phorti phirti hai nadaa.n fariyaad jo dar dar jaati hai

Haan, jaa.n ke zeyaa.n ki hum ko bhi tashveesh hai lekin kiya kijay
Her reh jo udher ko jaati hai, maqtal se guzar ker jaati hai

Hum ehl-e-qafas tanha bhi nahin, her roz naseem-e-subh-e-watan
Yaadon se moattar aati hai, ashkon se munavvar jaati hai
