jahan baat wahdat ki gahri rahegi
wahan fikr apni na teri rahegi

lajajat amiron se yak-dam utha de
qanaat se apni faqiri rahegi

na jine ki khwahish na marne ka gham hai
jo haalat hai apni wo thahri rahegi

mujalla hua jab se dil hai hamara
na marqad mein apne andheri rahegi

ghamand har tarah karna zeba nahin hai
jawani kisi ki na piri rahegi

khudai ki qudarat khudi se hai 'markaz'
muqallid hain jab tak asiri rahegi
