badan pe pairahan-e-khak ke siwa kya hai
mere alaw mein ab rakh ke siwa kya hai

ye shahr-e-sajda-guzaran dayar-e-kam-nazaran
yatim-khana-e-idrak ke siwa kya hai

tamam gumbad-o-minar-o-mimbar-o-mehrab
faqih-e-shahr ki imlak ke siwa kya hai

khule saron ka muqaddar ba-e-faiz-e-jahl-e-khirad
fareb-e-saya-e-aflak ke siwa kya hai

tamam umr ka hasil ba-fazl-e-rabb-e-karim
mata-e-dida-e-namnak ke siwa kya hai

ye mera dawa-e-khud-bini-o-jahan-bini
meri jihaalat-e-saffak ke siwa kya hai

jahan-e-fikr-o-amal mein ye mera zom-e-wajud
faqat numaish-e-poshak ke siwa kya hai
