Chund rooz meri jaan

Chund rooz meri jaaN! faqt chund hi rooz
Zulm ki chhaooN mein dam lainy par mujboor hain ham

Our kochh rooz sitam seh lain tarhp leen roo lain
Apny ajdad ki meraas he mujboor hain hum

Jism pe qaid he juzbaat pe zunjireeN hain
Fikr mahboos he guftaar pe taazireen hain

Apni haimmat he keh hum phir bhi jiiye jaty hain
Zindgi kiya kissi muflis ki qabaa he jis mein

Har garhi dard ky peywend lagy jaty hain
Lekin ab zulm ki meyaad ky dinn torhy hain

Ik zara sabr keh faryaad ky dinn torhy hain
Arsa-e-dehar ki jhulsi hoyi weraani mein

Hum ko rehna he par yoonhi to naheen rehna he
Ajnabi hathoon ka benaam garanbaar sitam

Aaj sehna he hameesha to naheen sehna he
Yeh tery khusn pe lipti hoyi aalaam ki gard

Apni do rozah juwani ki shakustooN ka shumaar
Chandni ratooN ka bekaar dehkta howa dard

Dil ki besood tarhap jism ki mayoos pukaar
chund roz meri jaan! faqt chund hi roz
