tere hote hue mahfil mein jalate hain charagh
tere hote hue mahfil meñ jalāte haiñ charāġh
log kyā saada haiñ sūraj ko dikhāte haiñ charāġh
apnī mahrūmī ke ehsās se sharminda haiñ
ḳhud nahīñ rakhte to auroñ ke bujhāte haiñ charāġh
bastiyāñ duur huī jaatī haiñ rafta rafta
dam-ba-dam āñkhoñ se chhupte chale jaate haiñ charāġh
kyā ḳhabar un ko ki dāman bhī bhaḌak uThte haiñ
jo zamāne kī havāoñ se bachāte haiñ charāġh
go siyah-baḳht haiñ ham log pe raushan hai zamīr
ḳhud añdhere meñ haiñ duniyā ko dikhāte haiñ charāġh
bastiyāñ chāñd sitāroñ kī basāne vaalo
kurra-e-arz pe bujhte chale jaate haiñ charāġh
aise bedard hue ham bhī ki ab gulshan par
barq girtī hai to zindāñ meñ jalāte haiñ charāġh
aisī tārīkiyāñ āñkhoñ meñ basī haiñ ki 'farāz'
raat to raat hai ham din ko jalāte haiñ charāġh
tere hote hue mahfil mein jalate hain charagh
log kya sada hain suraj ko dikhate hain charagh
apni mahrumi ke ehsas se sharminda hain
KHud nahin rakhte to auron ke bujhate hain charagh
bastiyan dur hui jati hain rafta rafta
dam-ba-dam aankhon se chhupte chale jate hain charagh
kya KHabar un ko ki daman bhi bhaDak uThte hain
jo zamane ki hawaon se bachate hain charagh
go siyah-baKHt hain hum log pe raushan hai zamir
KHud andhere mein hain duniya ko dikhate hain charagh
bastiyan chand sitaron ki basane walo
kurra-e-arz pe bujhte chale jate hain charagh
aise bedard hue hum bhi ki ab gulshan par
barq girti hai to zindan mein jalate hain charagh
aisi tarikiyan aankhon mein basi hain ki 'faraaz'
raat to raat hai hum din ko jalate hain charagh
