tere didaar se main aankh uThaaun kyunkar — Barq Dehlvi

din-raat paDaa rahtaa huun darvaaze pe apne
is gham mein ki koi kabhi aataa thaa idhar se

shab-e-furqat nazar aate nahin aasaar-e-sahar
itni zulmat hai rukh-e-shama pe bhi nuur nahin

sar-ba-kaf hind ke jaan-baaz-e-vatan laDte hain
tegh-e-nau le saf-e-dushman mein ghuse paDte hain

rahegaa kis kaa hissa beshtar mere miTaane mein
ye baaham faisla pahle zamin o aasmaan kar lein
