आज भी मेरा दामन खाली, आज भी दिल वीरान

aaj bhi mera damn khali, aaj bhi dil wiran wkt sjaye aaj bhi baitha hai rngin dukan

fauji buton se ghayl ganw ki pgdndi par ek kunwari dhundh rhi hai do pairon ke nishan

jam ke bdle mykhane mein chlti hain tlwaren

saqi dur khra hai gumsum aur khuda hairan

kaisa hai ye daure-trk़qi kya iski saughat

hthiyaron ki kimt uchi ssta hai insan

jane kiski aas mein khoye hain gori ke nain

gli khamosh, udas mundere aangn hai sunsan

sari khudaee prit ki dushmn hai mere mhbub

ruth gye jo tum bhi mujhse rh na skenge pran

aawaron sa bhtk rha hun main gliyon mein aaj 'kanwal’ ahle-nzr1 mhwe-hairt2 hai kaun hai ye insan
