aae hum 'ghaalib'-o-'iqbaal' ke naghmat ke baad
'mushaf'-e-ishq-o-junun husn ki aayat ke baad

ai watan khak-e-watan wo bhi tujhe de denge
bach gaya hai jo lahu ab ke fasadat ke baad

nar-e-namrud yahi aur yahi gulzar-e-khalil
koi aatish nahin aatish-kada-e-zat ke baad

ram-o-gautam ki zamin hurmat-e-insan ki amin
banjh ho jaegi kya khun ki barsat ke baad

tishnagi hai ki bujhae nahin bujhti 'sardar'
badh gai kausar-o-tasnim ki saughat ke baad
