saf kab imtihan lete hain
saaf kab imtihān lete haiñ
vo to dam de ke jaan lete haiñ
yuuñ hai manzūr ḳhāna-vīrānī
mol merā makān lete haiñ
tum taġhāful karo raqīboñ se
jānñe vaale jaan lete haiñ
phir na aanā agar koī bheje
nāma-bar se zabān lete haiñ
ab bhī gir paḌ ke zof se naale
sātvāñ āsmān lete haiñ
tere ḳhanjar se bhī to ai qātil
nok kī nau-javān lete haiñ
apne bismil kā sar hai zaanū par
kis mohabbat se jaan lete haiñ
ye sunā hai mire liye talvār
ik mire mehrbān lete haiñ
ye na kah ham se tere muñh meñ ḳhaak
is meñ terī zabān lete haiñ
kaun jaatā hai us galī meñ jise
duur se pāsbān lete haiñ
manzil-e-shauq tai nahīñ hotī
Thekiyāñ nā-tavān lete haiñ
kar guzarte haiñ ho burī ki bhalī
dil meñ jo kuchh vo Thaan lete haiñ
vo jhagaḌte haiñ jab raqīboñ se
biich meñ mujh ko saan lete haiñ
zid har ik baat par nahīñ achchhī
dost kī dost maan lete haiñ
musta.id ho ke ye kaho to sahī
aa.iye imtihān lete haiñ
'dāġh' bhī hai ajiib sehr-bayāñ
baat jis kī vo maan lete haiñ
saf kab imtihan lete hain
wo to dam de ke jaan lete hain
yun hai manzur KHana-virani
mol mera makan lete hain
tum taghaful karo raqibon se
jaanne wale jaan lete hain
phir na aana agar koi bheje
nama-bar se zaban lete hain
ab bhi gir paD ke zof se nale
satwan aasman lete hain
tere KHanjar se bhi to ai qatil
nok ki nau-jawan lete hain
apne bismil ka sar hai zanu par
kis mohabbat se jaan lete hain
ye suna hai mere liye talwar
ek mere mehrban lete hain
ye na kah hum se tere munh mein KHak
is mein teri zaban lete hain
kaun jata hai us gali mein jise
dur se pasban lete hain
manzil-e-shauq tai nahin hoti
Thekiyan na-tawan lete hain
kar guzarte hain ho buri ki bhali
dil mein jo kuchh wo Than lete hain
wo jhagaDte hain jab raqibon se
bich mein mujh ko san lete hain
zid har ek baat par nahin achchhi
dost ki dost man lete hain
mustaid ho ke ye kaho to sahi
aaiye imtihan lete hain
'dagh' bhi hai ajib sehr-bayan
baat jis ki wo man lete hain
