kanakhiyon se yun jam par jam dena
mujhe phir na tum koi ilzam dena

dalil-e-nigah-e-marahim hai ai dil
mujhe jurat-e-zabt-e-alam dena

tadap bhi na utthen machal bhi na jaen
mere gham ka yun un ko paigham dena

meri dastan-e-wafa sunne walo
unhen be-rukhi ka na ilzam dena

wo bar-e-khajalat se gardan jhuka len
unhen koi aisa na paigham dena

rahun main zamane ke fitnon se ghafil
mujhe wo mai-e-fikr-e-asham dena

main andaza-e-gardish-e-charkh kar lun
zara jhum kar tum mujhe jam dena

riha ho gaya qaid-e-hasti se koi
unhen ye nawed-e-khush-anjam dena

hai ye qaum ki rahbari aaj 'bismil'
risalon mein akhbaron mein nam dena
