Koi nazam kese kahain ke hum,

Na charagh hain,

Na misaal-e-Harf-e-Gulaab hain,

Na khayal hain,

Na kissi ki aankh ka khawab hain,

Kissi gum shudda si wafaon ki,

Kissi shaam mein,

Jo bichhar gaye,

To bichharne walon ki yaad mein,

Kahiin rait mein,

Kahiin ashk-e-ghumm ka ghubaar hain,

Wo jo dasht,

Hijar ka hai kahiin,

Issi dasht-e-shaam-e-judai ke,

Yeh jo daagh hain,

Teri yaad ke,

Tere baad ke,

Koi nazam kese kahain ke hum,

Na charagh hain,

Na misaal-e-harf-e-gulab hain,

Na khayal hain,

Na kisi ki aankhh ka khwaab hain,

Yeh jo shehar hai,

To yeh shehar bhi,

saff-e-dushman se milla hua,

Yeh jo log hain,

To yeh log bhi,

kahan jante hain ke kya hua,

Koi nazam kese kahain,

Ke hum,

yeh fizza hi aisi nahi rahi,

Jo charagh koi jalain hum,

To hawa hi aisi,

Nahi rahi,

Tahi fikr aise huay hain hum,

Tere haal-o-hadd ka bayan bhi ab,

Na hamare dast-e-hunnar mein tha,

Na hamare dast-e-hunnar mein hai...!!
