Teri Ankh Purnamm Raha Karay�.

Ussay Dekh Kar To Ruk Paray�.

Rahmaten hain tiri aghiyar ke kashaanon par,

Barq girti hai tau bechare Musalmaanon par!
Yeh shikait nahin, hain un ke khazane maamur,
Nehin mehfil mein jinhen baat bhi karne ka shaoor,
Qahar tau yeh hai ke kafir ko milen hoor-o-qasoor,
Aur bechaare Musalmaan ko faqt waada-e-hoor!
