main hun ek kaghaz-e-qalam-bezar
baad-e-sarsar mein barg-e-nam bezar

arabi log hain to hone do
wo khuda to nahin ajam-bezar

dekh kar bol chehre-bushre se
nazar aata hun kya sitam-bezar

ai gurezan-e-abla-pai!
dasht-e-majnun hai qadam-bezar

ek dil-e-muztarib hai pahlu mein
aur sina hai ek-dam bezar

rashk-e-shana se pech khata hun
main giraftar-e-zulf-e-kham bezar

mustarad daftar-e-tarab mein hua
ek ummid-war-e-gham bezar

mujh se bezar kul jahan hai 'shafaq'!
main bhi khud se nahin hun kam bezar
