chaaron or ab phul hi phul hain kya ginte ho daghon ko
ho taufiq to dil se lagao in nau-rusta baghon ko

jalte sahra ki maujon par girte-padte rah-raw hain
chashma-e-azadi ke jo ab tak dhundh rahe hain suraghon ko

baad-e-hawadis ke shahpar khud un ko rah dikhate hain
waqt ke dhaare par chhoda hai hum ne aise charaghon ko

kunj-e-qafas go kunj-e-qafas hai lekin ab ke bahaaran mein
hum ne mahakta paya josh-e-tasawwur-e-gul se dimaghon ko

subh-e-roz-e-adam-e-nau hai dhum machi hai ghar ghar mein
sathiyo uttho subuhi se chalkaen bhar ke ayaghon ko
