ahd-e-ghazab hai shor bahut qil-o-qal ka
ye daur hai baha-e-adab ke zawal ka

ghaaron mein chhup ke so raho ai sakinan-e-dil
sadiyon talak na aaega jhonka khayal ka

viran apne hath se ki kar-gah-e-zist
zarre se khub kaam liya hai kamal ka

aae the is zamin pe jaenge ab kahan
dega jawab kaun hamein is sawal ka

ye sai-e-raegan to na thi apni justuju
ai zul-jalal hum ko dikha rukh jamal ka

baithe hain sau baras se tere intizar mein
aao bhi ab to fasla hai ek sal ka
