Darouna jungle hae raat andheri sitaare kuch jhilmila rahe hain
Padey hain rethi pah chand laashe joh apna gham aap kha rahe hain

Hae aisa bigda huva zamana na gore hae aur na shamiyana
Falak pah abre siyaah ke lakke udaasi bun bun ke cha rahe hain

Na koyi zaqmoun ka dhone wala na koi murdoun pah ronay wala
Parind kuch kar rahe hain naalay darindh kuch qaak uda rahe hain

Shikista hathyar kuch padey hain yeh loug shayad yahan lade hain
Laday toh woh honge joh badey hain nazar toh bachhe bhi aarahe hain

Yeh run joh is waqt bolta hae unhee shaheedon ki yeh sada hae
Ke apni haalath pah reham khaane yeh rehruoun ko bula rahe hain

Yeh loug hain kaun khandaan ke joh koyi pooche toh kis se poochey
Musafir aatey hain joh idhar se woh raah katrah ke ja rahe hain

Haram pah kya guzri baad inke nahin zaroorat ke koi bole
Jale huve joh pade hain qaime khud unka lutna batah rahe hain

Shifa-ate hashr karne wale kahen woh joh kar guzar ne wale
Ghayoor hain yeh woh marne wale joh hum ko ab tak rula rahe hain
