hai barq-e-khirman-e-jaan soz-e-nihan hamara
sargarm-e-jalwa-e-gham husn-e-bayan hamara

rang-e-bahaar-agin mazmun se hai paida
ye sher ki zamin hai ya bostan hamara

ho naqsh-e-arzu bhi ek surat-e-nigarin
gar ho musawwir-e-chin daur-e-zaman hamara

kya harf-e-muddaa hai ek nashtar-e-rag-e-jaan
kyon sarf-e-gham hai naqd-e-umr-e-rawan hamara

aaghosh-e-zulm hi mein parwarda ho chuke hain
kya imtihan karega ye aasman hamara

sabr-o-qarar dil mein kis tarah rah paen
ye nala-e-shab-e-gham hai pasban hamara

dil-dad-gan-e-gham ko ishrat se kya talluq
hai kucha-e-musibat darul-jinan hamara

khamyaza-e-tamanna hai maujib-e-tabahi
hai kaun jo uthae bar-e-garan hamara

ai bakht-e-wazhgun hum tujh se ye puchhte hain
kya hum ko kuchh na dega rozi-rasan hamara

jaur-e-falak ka 'mazhar' parda utha hi dete
hai sadd-e-rah lekin zabt-e-fughan hamara
