bade adab se ghurur-e-sitam-garan bola
jab inqalab ke lahje mein be-zaban bola

takoge yunhi hawaon ka munh bhala kab tak
ye na-khudaon se ek roz baadban bola

chaman mein sab ki zaban par thi meri mazlumi
mere khilaf jo bola to baghban bola

yahi bahut hai ki zinda to ho miyan-sahab
zamana sun ke mere gham ki dastan bola

hisar-e-jabr mein zinda badan jalae gae
kisi ne dam nahin mara magar dhuan bola

asar hua to ye taqrir ka kamal nahin
mera khulus mukhatab tha main kahan bola

kaha na tha ki nawazenge hum 'hafiz' tujhe
uda ke wo mere daman ki dhajjiyan bola
