gah bismil hun gahe takbir hun
apni main tadbir ka taqdir hun

mere dam se hai junun ki aabru
pasban-e-khana-e-zanjir hun

be-rukhi par hai kaman taqdir ki
go sarapa nawak-e-tadbir hun

dushmanon ke hun zarar ka sarnawisht
doston ke nafa ki taqrir hun

hai kharabi rakhna-andaz-e-bina
qasr-e-barbaadi ka main tamir hun

qad tawazoa mein hai kham misl-e-kaman
rast-kari mein misal-e-tir hun

main hun ek naqqash shair ai 'waqar'
khinchta ashaar ki taswir hun
