Khade Hain Dil Mein Jo Barg-o-samar Lagaye Hue

Khade hain dil mein jo barg-o-samar lagaye hue,
Tumhaare haath ke hain ye shajar lagaye hue,

Bahut udaas ho tum aur main bhi baitha hun,
Gaye dinon ki kamar se kamar lagaye hue,

Abhi sipah-e-sitam khema-zan hai chaar taraf,
Abhi pade raho zanjeer-e-dar lagaye hue,

Kahaan kahaan na gaye aalam-e-khyaal mein hum,
Nazar kisi ke dar-o-baam par lagaye hue,

Wo shab ko cheer ke sooraj nikaal bhi laaye,
Hum aaj tak hain ummeed-e-sahar lagaye hue,

Dilon ki aag jalao ke ek umr hui,
Sada-e-nala-e-dood-o-sharar lagaye hue..!!
