charaagh qaum kaa raushan hai arsh par dil ke — Chakbast Braj Narayan

kiyaa hai faash parda kufr-o-din kaa is qadar main ne
ki dushman hai barhaman aur adu shaikh-e-haram meraa

vatan ki khaak se mar kar bhi ham ko uns baaqi hai
mazaa daamaan-e-maadar kaa hai is miTTi ke daaman mein

zindagi kyaa hai anaasir mein zuhur-e-tartib
maut kyaa hai inhin ajzaa kaa pareshaan honaa

agar dard-e-mohabbat se na insaan aashnaa hotaa
na kuchh marne kaa gham hotaa na jiine kaa mazaa hotaa

adab taalim kaa jauhar hai zevar hai javaani kaa
vahi shaagird hain jo khidmat-e-ustaad karte hain

hai miraa zabt-e-junun josh-e-junun se baDh kar
nang hai mere liye chaak-e-garebaan honaa

main baDaa ho gayaa huun magar bachpanaa
mere dil se kabhi bhi gayaa hi nahin

unhein apne dil ki khabrein mire dil se mil rahi hain
main jo un se ruuTh jaaun to payaam tak na pahunche

shama bujh kar rah gai parvaana jal kar rah gayaa
yaadgaar-e-husn-o-ishq ik daagh dil par rah gayaa

havaa shaakhon mein rukne aur ulajhne ko hai is lamhe
guzarte baadalon mein chaand haail hone vaalaa hai

chaand ne taan li hai chaadar-e-abr
ab vo kapDe badal rahi hogi

main badalte hue haalaat mein Dhal jaataa huun
dekhne vaale adaakaar samajhte hain mujhe
