Aae mashriq se shahsawar bahut

aae mashriq se shahsawar bahut
kis ko tha un ka intizar bahut

qafilon ki koi KHabar si nahin
dur uThta raha ghubar bahut

subh hone tak us ne jaan na di
umr bhar tha KHud-iKHtiyar bahut

phir koi saneha hua hoga
mehrban kyun hain gham-gusar bahut

kyun hai har zarra karbala-manzar
hai hamein un pe e'tibar bahut

ho gai sab ke aage ruswai
kis hunar par tha iftiKHar bahut
