na rakh niyam mein rahne de be-niyam abhi
tu is ko hath mein kuchh der aur tham abhi

kuchh aur lena hai khanjar se tujh ko kaam abhi
adu ka kaam hua hai kahan tamam abhi

muhafiz-e-watan aaram hai haram abhi
abhi to chhai hui hai ufuq pe gham ki ghata

abhi to shoala-fishan hai himaliya ki faza
abhi to chalti hai sarhad par tund-o-tez hawa

sukun ka khwab hai yak surkhiyan-e-kham abhi
muhafiz-ewatan aaram hai haram abhi

abhi to jama hai sarhad pe lashkar-e-aghyar
abhi to aankhen dikhata hai ghasib-e-ghaddar

abhi to mail shar hai junun-e-fitna-shiar
use pilana hai zahr-e-ajal ka jam abhi

muhafiz-e-watan aaram hai haram abhi
koi kalam nahin hai teri shujaat mein

na aai panw mein laghzish hazar aafat mein
tu pesh pesh raha hai watan ki khidmat mein

magar hai dur bahut amn ka maqam abhi
muhafiz-e-watan aaram hai haram abhi

uthe jo fitna-e-taza use dabana hai
sitam-taraaz ko maidan se bhagana hai

abhi to hamle ka badla tujhe chukana hai
na la zaban pe aaram ka tu nam abhi

muhafiz-e-watan aaram hai haram abhi
