Keh Do Gham-E- Husain Manany Walon Ko
Momin Kbhi Shaheed Ka Matam Nhi Krte

Hy Ishq Apni Jan Se Zyada Aal-E-Rasol Se
Yun Sar-E-Aam Hum Unka Tamasha Nai Krty

Roein Wo Jo Munkir Hain Shahadat-E-HUSSAIN K
Hum Zinda-O-Javaid Ka Matam Nahi Kertay

-----------------------
Phool Ki Patti Sy Cut Sakta He Heeray Ka Jigar
Kalam E Narm O Nazuk Mard E Nadan Pr By Asar

-----------------------
Hazaar Chasma Tara Rahay Sing Say Photay 
Khudi Ma Doub Ker Zerb.E.Kaleem Pada Ker

-----------------------
100, 100 Umeed Bandhati Hai Ik Ik Nigha Par
Mujh Ko Nah Esy Payar Se Dekha Kary Koi

Halki C Chahb Dikha K Aap To Pardy Main Ho Rahy
Or Keh Gaye Nigah Ko Dhoondha Kary Koi

Iqbal Tery Ishq Ne Sab Ball Diye Nikaal
Mudat Se Arzu The Seedha Kary Koi

-----------------------
Khudi Ko Kr Buland Itna K Har Takder Se Pehlay
Khuda Banday Se Khud Pochay Bta Teri Raza Kya Hai
