bulae jate hain maqtal mein hum saza ke liye
ki ab dimagh nahin arz-e-muddaa ke liye

azal ke roz hamein kaun se wo tohfe mile
ki hum se dahr ne badle gina gina ke liye

wo wade yaad nahin tishna hai magar ab tak
wo wade bhi koi wade jo mai pila ke liye

wo lamha bhar ki mili khuld mein jo aazadi
to qaid ho gae mitti mein hum sada ke liye

shumar-e-tar-e-gareban mein hai jo uljhe hue
wo hath bhi to hamein dijiye dua ke liye

bahut giran hai agar tum pe intizar-e-bahaar
hamara khun sar-e-dast lo hina ke liye
