hum ne yun parcham-e-mear utha rakkha hai
kaghazi phulon se ghar apna saja rakkha hai

sab pe chhaya hua hai roab sitamgari ka
dil mein logon ne kahan khauf-e-khuda rakkha hai

apna haq mangna kya jurm koi hai aakhir
tum ne is baat pe kyon hashr utha rakkha hai

wo jo ghafil hai yahan jazba-e-hamdardi se
nam kyon us ka bhala ahl-e-wafa rakkha hai

main tera zulm nahin bhula magar tere liye
aaj bhi zehn ka darwaza khula rakkha hai

jaanta hai wo meri izzat-o-tauqir hai kya
jis ne neze pe mere sar ko utha rakkha hai

tum ko malum hai kya apni haqiqat 'asrar'
khud ko aaine se kyon tum ne bacha rakkha hai
