mana kar jashn apni bebasi ka
udata hun tamaskhur zindagi ka

lahu kei chhint har diwar par thi
laga ilzam phir bhi khud-kushi ka

khuda sab ko banate ja rahe ho
tamasha kar rahe ho bandagi ka

meri saf se jo aage kei safen hain
numayan fasla hai muflisi ka

chala kar pith par khanjar ye kis ne
kiya hai nam ruswa dushmani ka

na jaane rah ke jo pech-o-kham ko
use ohda mila hai rahbari ka

chalo mahtab le aaen kahin se
badha jata hai saya tirgi ka

wo daulat ilm kei 'arqam' hai jis ko
kabhi khadsha nahin hai rahzani ka
