daman lahu-lahu hai gareban lahu-lahu
hain kushtagan-e-fasl-e-bahaaran lahu-lahu

shayad guzar chuki hai asiron ki jaan par
zanjir hai khamosh to zindan lahu-lahu

go ho chuka wajud patangon ka be-nishan
hai daman-e-charagh-e-shabistan lahu-lahu

kis karwan-e-abla-pa ka guzar hua
hai dasht khun-khun bayaban lahu-lahu

khanjar-fashan hai kis ki khudai chahaar samt
har gam par hai azmat-e-insan lahu-lahu

aanchal hai surkh khun se urus-e-bahaar ka
gulchin ke jaur se hai gulistan lahu-lahu

jaulan faqat ragon mein 'mubarak' lahu nahin
hai qalb-ta-ba-dida-e-giryan lahu-lahu
