ahl-e-wafa ki jaan the dushwar raste
phulon ka farsh ban gae pur-khar raste

teri shamim-e-zulf ke sadqe ki aaj bhi
mahki hui faza hai to gul-bar raste

viraniyon ka raj tha sunsan thi faza
aate hi kis ke ho gae bedar raste

sach hai ki har qadam pe nasheb-o-faraaz hain
hote nahin hain zist ke hamwar raste

science ke irtiqa ka karishma yahi to hai
amn-o-aman ke ho gae dushwar raste

tegh-e-bashar se khun-e-bashar jin pe hai rawan
hatte nahin nazar se wo gul-kar raste

chalte rahenge shauq-e-shahadat mein sarfarosh
dar-o-rasan ke lakh hon dushwar raste

zauq-e-safar ke sath rahe shauq-e-justuju
hote nahin kisi ke bhi gham-khwar raste

'maghmum’ shauq-e-manzil-e-maqsud to baja
manzil ki rah mein na hon diwar raste
