sar_faroshii kii tamannaa ab hamaare dil me.n hai


sar_faroshii kii tamannaa ab hamaare dil me.n hai
dekhanaa hai zor kitanaa baazuu-e-qaatil me.n hai

karataa nahii.n kyo.n duusaraa kuchh baat-chiit
dekhataa huu.N mai.n jise vo chup terii mahafil me.n hai

ai shaahid-e-mulk-o-millat mai.n tere uupar nisaar
ab terii himmat kaa charchaa Gair kii mahafil me.n hai

[mulk = country; millat = nation/faith]

vaqt aane de bataa de.nge tujhe ai aasmaa.N 
ham abhii se kyaa bataaye.n kyaa hamaare dil me.n hai

khii.nch kar laa_ii hai.n sab ko qatl hone kii ummiid
aashiqo.n kaa aaj jam_ghaT kuuchaa-e-qaatil me.n hai

[jam_ghaT = crowd; kuuchaa-e-qaatil = killer's lane]
