be-kasi par zulm la-mahdud hai
matla-e-insaf abr-alud hai

waqt ki qimat ada karne ke baad
ahd ka firaun phir masjud hai

har taraf zar ki parastish hai yahan
sunte aae the khuda mabud hai

chaar su hai aatish o aahan ka khel
aur khala mein shoala-o-barud hai

tabish-e-ilm-o-hunar hai be-samar
kawish-e-husn-e-amal be-sud hai

amn 'kaifi' ho nahin sakta kabhi
jab talak zulm-o-sitam maujud hai
