chalo achchha hua kaam aa gai diwangi apni
wagarna hum zamane bhar ko samjhane kahan jate

twas a good thing that my madness was to some avail
else, for my state, what other reason could the world I show?

angDai par angDai leti hai raat judai ki
tum kya samjho tum kya jaano baat meri tanhai ki

apni zaban to band hai tum KHud hi soch lo
paDta nahin hai yunhi sitam-gar kisi ka nam

apne liye ab ek hi rah najat hai
har zulm ko raza-e-KHuda kah liya karo

ahbab ko de raha hun dhoka

achchha yaqin nahin hai to kashti Duba ke dekh
ek tu hi naKHuda nahin zalim KHuda bhi hai

abhi to baat karo hum se doston ki tarah
phir iKHtilaf ke pahlu nikalte rahna

ab jis ke ji mein aae wahi pae raushni
hum ne to dil jala ke sar-e-am rakh diya

whoever so desires may now partake of its heat
for I have set my heart afire and left it on the street

aaya hi tha abhi mere lab pe wafa ka nam
kuchh doston ne hath mein patthar uTha liye
