na hamari hai ye urdu na tumhaari urdu
balki har qaum ki hai raj-dulari urdu

sar kiye is ne akele hi hazaron maidan
kisi maidan mein ab tak nahin haari urdu

ab bhi stage pe bhashan jo diya jata hai
bolte is mein bhi hain ram bihaari urdu

is ko har mulk ka insan samajh leta hai
is se har shakhs ko hai aaj bhi pyari urdu

jo mukhalif hain ba-zahir unhen malum nahin
raat din bolti hai un ki kahaari urdu

pak har aib se hai aur bhi daman is ka
ganga jamuna ke hai pani se nikhaari urdu

kahin 'ghaalib' ki hain nazmen kahin chakbast ki hain
shekh-o-pandit ne hai mil-jul ke sanwari urdu

aaj sannate mein kahti hai ye bhaarat mata
tum ko malum nahin hum ko hai pyari urdu

doston ke liye paigham-e-masarrat hai magar
dushmanon ke liye be-shak hai katari urdu

coat patlun pahan kar bhi na chhodi hum ne
hum ne khaddar ki bana dali hai sari urdu

naujawanan-e-watan se hai ye 'nawak' ka payam
marte marte bhi zaban par rahe jari urdu
